Some cities... like St. Louis? How about Chicago, New Orleans, New York, 
Baltimore, Los Angeles, Portland, Atlanta? Every week in Chicago death toll 
from thug violence results in multiple deaths.

When they gather these "gun violence" statistics, they include suicide and 
accidental shooting deaths. Not quite the same thing as thugs killing each 
other, or innocent bystanders or victims.  

By the way, figures don't lie, but liars figure.
