Note how emboldened the bad guys are in a place like NYC, where the bad guys know that every Joe Average they encounter is going to be disarmed.
You would be hard pressed to show a correlation between gun ownership and violent crime.
For example cities such as Detroit, St. Louis and Philadelphia all have appalling murder rates and all three are located in states that extremely liberal gun laws, while New York City with the most conservative of gun laws has one of the lowest (relatively speaking).

Urban youth ruining more innocent lives. Evidently the woman works for the View and was trying to calm these thugs down and appeal to their chivalrous nature. She must have forgotten what type of people she was dealing with. I hope she and her cousin make a speedy recovery.
They shoot an unarmed woman. What worthless human trash. An activity as simple as going to a deli ends in a senseless shooting. The thugs are running wild and have no concept of human life. They kill-KILL unarmed citizens for anything and everything, From wanting the latest Iphone to their conceived notion of "respect." Kids and women being shot and have no way of protecting themselves. What a glorious society we live in.
And for the other OP's posts, You are right. Guns are a tool. The act of violence comes from the person.
