I know it's pointless, but here it is anyway: The Gun Report

16. ignoring the stink in their own backyards

doc: Columbus is surrounded by guns, so is Pittsburgh and many other cities. They don't have problems as serious as Chicago.

A meaningless remark, as you will see:

2006 Crime rates per 100,000 People (rape not avail for chi):
....PROGUN Memphis, TN ........ Chicago, IL
Murder: ...........21.6 ...............16.4 <<<<< ~20 in 2012
Robbery: .........780.1 ..............555.1
Aggr Asslt: .....1125.2 ..............610.4
Burglary:....... 2416.2 ..............845.2
Larceny: ........4955.1 .............2930.1
Auto Theft: ......986.9 ..............763.8

murder rates,2011:
PROGUN MISSOURI, kansas city.. 23.4
PROGUN GEORGIA (atlanta):......... 20.7
PROGUN new orleans murder rate:.. 57.6
PROGUN Miami florida.............. 16.8
PROGUN St Louis............................ 35.3
............Chicago murder rate:.......... 15.9 <<< 2012 ~20

So what's your point doc? You can cite certain cities with lower crime rates than Chicago, but that doesn't excuse progun cities with higher or parity rates.
And Chicago's murder rate has dropped by half since circa 1990's, from near 1000 down to about 400 - 500 today, ALL WHILE EMBRACING GUNCONTROL.
