Wow.

The United States has 6 of the 50, right here.

(counting one in Puerto Rico)

[Sacajaweau]

planned parenthood recorded 333,964 homicides in 2012.

[dfwgator]

Hmmmm I detect a common thread in most of these cities.

“The study does not count deaths in a war zone”

Really? Oakland and NOLA are war zones at night.

[Fzob]

Every American city on that list is controlled by Democrats.

Shameful to have any American cities on the list.

[ansel12]

Cities of baptized Christians?

[Kip Russell]

Every American city on that list is controlled by Democrats.

How many cities (say, 1 million+ population) aren't?

[napscoordinator]

Very disappointed that I did not see Lancaster, PA. I thought those Amish were making strides. In all seriousness, it is 100 percent embarrassing that two states with Republican Governors have made the list. That is disgusting. What the heck do we have Republican Governors for if they can't control their state. Might as well have Democrats. The two states are Louisiana and Missouri. Horrid! You all will be as shocked as I was.

[gspurlock]

What are the concealed carry laws in those cities?

[napscoordinator]

Yeah but unfortunately Republican governors who are not doing their job at all obviously.

[Revolting cat!]

C’mon Detroit you can do better than #21. Go Detroit!

[ThunderSleeps]

How many of those six in the US have “tough” gun control laws? Yeah, how’s that working out.... I would say liberals are stupid and slow learners, ask how many more have to die... But really, isn’t it obvious people. So called gun control isn’t really about public safety. No one is that slow. Gun control is all about power, control, and tyranny. If they were really concerned about safety they would be advocating for more private firearms ownership and training.

New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Oakland. While others like D.C. and Miami are no longer in the top 50 they are hovering just out of reach. These cities have been bad for 30 years at least.

Chocolate?

"The United States has 6 of the 50, right here."

And Chicago wasn't even one of them. But how can they not include Iraq, with the almost daily bombings? You can't say they aren't murders just because they are politically motivated. And what about Syria and Egypt? If the government kills people, it doesn't count?

[PGalt]

Very interesting, informative. Thanks for posting.

[Innovative]

New Orleans is #17 — right up there with Mexico and S American countries...

[wastedyears]

If only they had sensible gun control laws... /sarc

[South40]

The report is not worth the paper it is written on if it does no mention Chicago.
