Original Note:
The United States is actually 73rd by murder rate. Removing the listed cities would only cause it to fall to 77th by murder rate. Some of the listed cities, namely New Orleans and St. Louis, are also in states with fairly loose gun laws. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/mar/28/viral-image/united-states-third-murders-outlier-cities/
