Much easier to say America is terrible and Canada is awesome than look at the actually issues that go on in both countries (and Europe) to cause these things.

Gun violence in the US has been an issue for a long time. I have NO idea what you a insinuating in a discussion of gun violence by bringing up Canada and Europe which has way less incidents per capita than the US...what underlying "issues" are you even talking about?
The notion that Canadians are "making themselves feel good about themselves" by denigrating America's gun culture is laughable.
Americans, please, by all means, continue to rally around the 2nd Amendment, continue to repeat NRA memes, continue to ignore the number wrt to gun violence in the US vs other western nations.
What i feel better about is that the majority of Canadians like the fact there are strict gun ownership rules. I am glad we do not have a pervasive gun culture in Canada and we don't have lobby groups in the halls of government...
If Americans are offended by it, that's unfortunate, but its their democracy, so its Americans who are writing that history isn't it?
