North Carolina has a total firearm death rate of approximately 16.4 per 100,000 people.

New York State (which includes NYC's large population) has a total firearm death rate of approximately 4.7 per 100,000 people, one of the lowest in the U.S.. The New York City area is specifically noted as having one of the lowest rates among major regions in the country. 
 

Using a terrible event to try to slam an entire city is just wrong. Stop watching cable news and you wont be as scared of the world 

So cute you think North Carolina is more dangerous than New York.  I'm not scared of the world. The world is scared of me. 

 

Next, best I found was about 7.7 to 8.2 per 100k for NC. And remove Charlotte, RDU, Piedmont Triad urban areas ... And you're better.

 

Violent crime in NYC is twice as much, property crime is 50% more, 

Further, firearm death rate includes suicide - roughly 60% of gun deaths in US.

 

I'd take NC over NY any day of the week. And I'm not alone. New Yorkers are fleeing that state and city for life down here.

"witnesses were uncooperative with cops".  

 

Likely no justice, but maybe Boyd can come out OK.

My mom once told me that nothing good happens after 11 pm.  My younger self disagreed, but now I see her point.  

 

My prayers go out to this young man.  

I would love to agree but back in my day, the evening didn't begin until 11 pm, and I had many enjoyable nights as such....

 

False platitude(s).
