This is a self perpetuating problem.

I think a lot of people forget that the USA is 10x bigger than Canada. They also have to deal with issues that we don't like the legacy of slavery and a massive border with Mexico. Once you pull out gang related shootings and suicides, the rate of shootings per capita is not that different in the USA.
