But again, most of these are gangster shootings in urban areas or the "Black Belt" South.
If you compare ten states that are most similar in population, culture, and demographics to the ten provinces you get 6 mass shootings this year:
Bc= Oregon: 0
Alberta =Utah: 1
Sask/manitoba=Dakotas: 0
Ontario =New York state: 5
Quebec=Mass: 0
Atlantic=Maine, vt, NH, RI: 0
Maybe you can quibble over the comparisons, but i think it's pretty fair. Obviously quebec is difficult to compare.
Yes some of these states have strict gun control, I think Mass and NY, but then new york also has the most shootings so...
