But don't even think of comparing it to Canada where you now need a
licence to get a gun (which involves safety training and a police record
search) and where you can not shoot people. Guns and ammunition have to
be be safely stored. You can use deadly force if you life is truly
threatened, but if you have time to go an unlock the gun and load it,
your life is not in that much danger. Yet, our homicide rate is much
much lower than in the US. Sure sure.... US murder rates are highest
in ghettos. Ours are either committed by youth gangs in the major cities
or by natives in the north

The only Canadian crime stat that is higher is rape, but that it
difficult to equate because the law does not differentiate here. It is
sexual assault and that can include anything from inappropriate touching
to a violent rape.
