    No you are wrong. The US has the highest number of guns per head not just in Western countries but in the world

    From a recent global report

    You are closing in on one gun per person?????
    From what I read the authors of the survey seem to have estimated the number of firearms in the US by adding up the total production of guns from 1899 to the present then subtracting the number of weapons known to have been exported. I have my doubts about the accuracy of their methods. They don't seem to have taken into account that some weapons may have been discarded over the past one hundred years, nor that many of these weapons may have been used by the military and "exported" via means other than traditional commerce! OTOH it doesn't take into account the once fluorishing trade in foreign WW2 weapons via mail order.

          Reserves have high murder rates (higher than the US as a whole, but lower than many individual US cities). Their effect on the overall murder rate is rather small, however, given their relatively low population (only 30% of the non-Metis non-Inuit aboriginal population lives on reserves).

            I heard that too. That the indian reserves have hi crime rates there. But that doesnt describe canada as a whole.

                Take away all gun related crimes, and I can gurantee that americans committ more crimes than Canadians.

                We are a violent people, our culture is more violent, we watch more violent movies, play more violent video games, etc. We shoot explosive devices on the 4th of july. We have a violent national anthem.
                Well that's dubious as well, almost national self delusion. Why do you have all those wimpy sports if that is so?

                This article from the New England journal of Medicine points out that the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealnd all share similar cultures and violent histories and yet only the USA has the horrific gun toll today because it doesn't control firearms as effectively as the others.

                  The USA has 76 million handguns, Canada 1 million. The differences in death rates and crime rates from guns are staggering.

                  What an idiot!

                  You take a country that has many more millions of people and one that is smaller. You are a selective stooge. And that commondreams site doesn't amount for **** as far as credibility goes.

                      Morons are those who are identical to AH and cite these bull**** links with obvious biases in them. Obviously someone could go watch Bowling For Columbine and get a huge ****load of statistical errors.

                        As opposed to *******s who deny facts and truth, half the time not even bothering to read the information people post in support of their arguments.
