> I found these statistics that showed Canadian firearms ownership in households was about half that of US households. The Canadian murder by firearm rate (per 100,000) was 0.6 compared to 6.9 in the US. The US had 11.5 times more murder by firearms. Total deaths by firearms(including accidents and suicides) were 2.9 times greater in US than in Canada.
