United States has 305 million people, so there would be a statistical expectation of 3050 murders.
The US has 9.2x times the instances of murder, but the ratio is the same.
Simple enough for you?

Wow, check your numbers, the ratio is nowwhere near the same.
Even if you even the populations Canada has far FAR fewer gun murders.
Plus we don't have have the huge massive shootings like that States does. None of this 35 dead sort of thing.
The last big one we had would be the Montreal one I think, at the university.
I'll get the actual data for you, but the rate isn't even close. No where in the rest of the first world is it like this.
Not blaming the guns or the media or the people, not here anyway. But holy smokes man, as far as the ratio goes. You are 100% wrong.
