I think Obama is a 'Third Way' globalist *##hole- just like Slick Willy.
Got it.

Any thoughts on how di Blasio is going to have the city overrun with crime and disorder, or have you guys abandoned that narrative for this one?

It's an exception that proves the rule.

In 2017, the rate was 3.4 in NYC and 1.2 in London (per 100,000).

The good news is that NY crime is down. The recent spate of homicides in London is quite troubling.

Your article / idiom is retarded. Nobody is arguing that NYC has always had less crime. The truth of the matter is that London has had a huge spike in crime - more killings in 3 months than they had in 6 last year.

One might classify that as an exception. And as such, it would weaken your implication that there's no link between gun availability and homicide rates.

Umm...no. You can't cite the crime rate hypothetically/possibly going down in the future as an invalidation of it trending (way) up now. And, that's completely unrelated to the lack of any link between gun availability and homicides. London doesn't have to have a higher homicide rate to prove that homicides are not proportional to gun availability.
