Than any other place in the United States, and oddly enough, second place isn't even close.

LINK

The link is to the CDC and the data is filtered only to for guns in homicides, so there are no suicides to skew it. Interesting list.

But at least you won't die from boredom like you would in Baton Rouge.

Solid point. In Baton Rouge I can't wait 45 minutes for a fricking kolache only to be told by the arse-hat with tats and piercings at District that they are sold out...then get shot a block over.

Damn, wouldn't have wanted to live there in 1994.
WTF was going on there in the mid-90's?

In 1994, 421 people were killed, a homicide rate which has not been matched by any major city to date.

Crime was peaking all over the country. When eliminating all confounding factors, the most statistically significant driver in the reduction of crime nationwide was the increase in abortions after Roe v. Wade.

I hope the OP linked that article while he was dying in BR traffic.

NO > Auschwitz (1943-1945) > BR

Look at the bright side- at least the gunfire is more likely to kill you than the food- or alcohol

I bet having an apostrophe in your name raises that risk exponentially.
