    Regardless of what you may have heard, cities like NYC are not just full of gangs brandishing firearms on all street corners. In fact, firearm violence is higher, per capita, in rural areas.

    So yes, there are millions of people who live in NYC that will never see a gun in their lives. The gun laws there are very strict, so people aren’t just carrying them around in the open for the most part.

      I’m not sure if you might have replied to the wrong comment, but this isn’t something I believe about NYC in the first place, nor something I implied.
