  1. WRONG.. The strictness of gun laws seems to play a limited role in violent crime rates, as the states with well over their share of cities in the top 100 (Table 1), like Florida, Michigan, Georgia, and Alabama, all have rather lax gun laws. However, there are outliers, as Illinois, the location of #1 East St. Louis (as well as Chicago, which has a very violent crime rate for its population, yet not high enough to place in the top 100) , and New Jersey, home of five cities in the top 100, have very strict gun laws. ​**Although mass shootings are becoming increasingly common in American life, the violent crime and prevalence of gun murders plaguing America’s most dangerous cities aren’t best explained by lax gun laws, rates of gun ownership, or one-off rampages (although, these do have an effect), but rather, by income inequality** Rank City State 1 East St Louis IL 2 Darby Borough 3 Opa Locka FL 4 Florida City FL 5 Flint MI 6 Detroit MI 7 Saginaw City MI 8 College Park GA 9 Prichard AL 10 West Memphis https://www.alarms.org/top-100-most-dangerous-cities-in-america-2018/
