The Marxist’s continue to ignore the obvious, if gun control laws worked, Washington D.C. New York and Chicago would be the safest cities in our country. Their objective is NOT to make us safer but to make us more defenseless against government tyranny. (Sorry for the improper spelling in prior post)
The problem with your argument is that New York City IS one one of the safest big cities in the Country, if not the world, with a violent crime rate that is significantly lower than large "red-state" cities like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Phoenix, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Norfolk, St. Louis, Tulsa, etc. I suspect that the low violent crime rate has less to do with gun control (the criminal element doesn't seem to have problem finding guns), but rather, the police crack-down on quality of life crimes and the unconstitutional "stop and frisk" policy that nabs bad guys before they are really bad.
