You do realize that, if you had read the article of "tale of two cities," you would have seen the REASONS why NY homicide went down. . .

And it goes directly against your position:

1. Bloomberg kept the police budget steady (Chicago reduced it)

2. The police made a concentrated efforts to get GUNS OFF THE STREET

3. Out of the 8,000 guns that were remove from circulation in NY city, 800 (only 10%) were ILLEGAL guns.

 

Maybe you should read that article again before gloating?

 

And, in the second article provided, one little sentence tells a lot:

 

"In 2009, FBI background checks for guns increased by 30 percent over the previous year"
