But there are more guns, a higher percentage of gun owners and more lax gun laws in Canada than the US...and they have a lower murder rate.
It isn't the guns that are the problem. It's the culture of fear and paranoia that's at the root of the problem. We are constantly being told how unsafe we are by our leaders and the media. The American press adage "if it bleeds, it leads" is ingrained into our newsstories to the point that ONLY sensational stories of people being wronged or attacked get any attention.
It's a huge cultural problem. :(
