Strict gun laws work just fine in NYC.
NYC has had the same basic gun laws since the 70's. The murder rate cannot be correlated to the presence of tough gun laws, because they have been here since the high crime of the 70's and 80's.
The only real experiment to do would be to liberalize (isn't that ironic) gun laws, and see if the murder rate shoots up.
