Yes, 500 murders in one year is a lot, but you have to put the number in the proper context. It is 500 murders, or about 1.5 murders per day, in a city of 8.5 MILLION people! And that in a country where buying a gun is almost as easy as buying bubble gum.

Is 500 murders too many when considering those facts?
