"London is now more crime ridden and dangerous than New York City, with rape, robbery and violent offences far higher on this side of the Atlantic"
Certainly not the story we hear from gun control advocates on both this side of the Atlantic and holier than thou Brits and Aussies that like to bud in.
Considering NYC is effectively a gun free zone for everyone except for cops and criminals, I don't know that this is a comparison I'd want to hang my hat on.
