Guns in Canada: Facts, Figures and Firearm Law
There’s a lot of hyperbole floating around, so I wanted to check with a fairly independent source. GunPolicy.org is hosted by Australia’s Sydney School of Public Health.
According to that site, what is the rate of gun homicide per 100,000 people in Canada? 0.5
In the U.S.A.? 2.98
(Related: Canadian expats in the U.S. comment on American gun culture; also Canada’s crime rate is at the lowest levels in 30 years, although homicides increased slightly in 2011 from 2010)
