Murder can and will be performed regardless of the presence of guns.

I was just trying to point out that if a thief KNOWS that most citizens do not have firearms(like in Canada), it makes crime/theft alot easier as opposed to not knowing who has firearms. There is obviously a greater risk for the criminal to break and enter in Texas than in Canada.
So all else being equal...B&E should be significantly lower in states with more guns right?
