Murder rates up in many cities

At the same time, Police Department spokesman Paul Browne noted that this year's total is only slightly higher than last year's 539 homicides — the city's lowest death toll in more than 40 years.

Browne blamed the rise in part on the availability of guns, particularly weapons from out of state. The city this year sued dozens of out-of-state gun shops that it says are responsible for many of the illegal weapons on the streets of New York. . . .


One question: if it is the availability of guns that caused the increase, what is the evidence or reasoning that availability increased over the last year?

Thanks to CM Ross for alerting me to this.
