sure seems that way in Chicago, NY, & LA for this past year, where each greatly restricts (read: removes) the rights afforded under the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Is it actually a more complex issue, involving proximity and quality of people? Rural areas that have concealed and/or open carry laws have lower mortality rates & lower gun related crimes, but there is also much less convenient access to potential victims.
What say y'ins?

Gottlieb called it "remarkable" that Chicago, New York and Los Angeles have some of the nation's strictest gun laws, but even so, they still lead the nation when it comes to the number of homicides.
