and while Juarez mexico may be on the list (20)...el paso Texas its neighbor is one of the safest cities
True. I once asked a lady from there and she said el paso is very safe. There is a huge federal presence in el paso that makes it safe, supposedly very good tex mex as well.
Almost all of these nations are places that are high on American immigration, dems need their third world voters
So four U.S. cities which are gun free zones, and the other 46 are in countries where guns are banned, or very, very heavily restricted. So the violence is the gun's fault. Right?

So there wouldn't be people killing others in Mexico if guns weren't regulated?

Guns ARE heavily restricted in Mexico. Mostly just the corrupt police, and military have them. People use ILLEGALLY obtained guns to kill each other. Mostly over drugs.
I know there's a political angle that the OP is trying to run with on this thread, but the commonality of the four US cities has to do more with those four cities (Detroit, New Orleans, St. Louis, Baltimore) having high rates of poverty, economic struggle and disinvestment, and residents with low levels of education, which bring all sorts of social ills including violent crime.
There's also an association with those bad demographics and the likelihood the family structure is chaotic (constant turnover of baby daddies of sketchy character), which doesn't help at all either.
There are affluent, politically Democratic areas with low rates of violent crime (college oriented towns/areas come to mind), so making a blanket association between the two is a faulty assumption.
