And the recent activities are showing the U.S. is getting worse for firearm deaths. Canada has actualy stayed pretty level.
The murder rate is almost 4 times higher in the states and the murder rate with guns is 9 TIMES HIGHER!
9 times. So no, it's not just population and ratios. This is already divided up into ratios. This is 9 times more at the same 100,000. |
I addressed that like 2 pages ago that they were not accurate numbers, nor were they pretending to be. It was supposed to show that due to sheer size differential alone, they will have a lot more.
