That has nothing to do with whether or not the country is in turmoil, those numbers in the LA Times warrant such. That said, I would have no issue traveling to Mexico city by myself. But that doesn't mean there isn't a huge problem.
I'm not going to look for stats, however, NYC probably does roughly 500 murders a year. There is not a consistent happening of gun battles in the streets anywhere in the United States.

there used to be a mad gang war going on in east palo alto up in the bay area. when i used to deliver beer, we had to have police escorts to the liquor stores there to deliver product. you could actually see the dudes walking around with straps in their pants waistbands. was creepy thinking it was the usa.
heres a link from 1992, the era i'm talking about. thats about the craziest shit in the u.s. i've seen.

i always wondered why the gov wouldn't send in the national guard to restore peace, but they never did.
