I agree with you, but note that NYC (a frequent point of comparison with London, despite stats incompatibilities) has more knife murders than London, ie their second biggest category is bigger than our first category of murders by weapon. https://www.euronews.com/2019/06/18/deadly-knife-crime-how-d...
I wasn't trying to compare the rates in which we murder each other.
New York is a shithole and terribly ran, of course the murder rate is higher, especially these days.
There's a lot of gang violence and pickpocketing, knives are the goto choice, especially since it's so hard to get a hand gun legally in that city. Better to carry a knife otherwise you're a default felon.
