Safest big city?
That’s what Michael Daly claims New York is. It’s an emotional piece playing on the sympathies by the actress who was recently killed during a robbery. It’s a tragic event. Daly concludes with:

NY has some of the most restrictive handgun laws in the nation, if not the strictest. Not a single one saved this woman. Any place can be dangerous at any time whenever some hoodlum is running around.
