I'm guessing you didn't live in the UK where we queue for literally everything.
Based on the murder rates per 100,000 people:
New York - six murders on average per 100,000 people
New Orleans - 64
St. Louis - 47
Los Angeles - 10
London - 2 murders per 100,000 people
Tokyo - 1
The US looks like a scarey place to live and this reopens the old debate over the right to own firearms !!
In the UK, things are getting worse, (or I'm getting older), statistically things appear to be getting better in the US but all things are relative.
Keep your heads down folks,
