8 times the per capita murder rate than Canada: most are with guns. 20
times the murder rate of European countri


that isn't correct from a lot of the stuff I read.

those figures are counted from the U.S. having more people killed by that than
Canada or Europe.

But what those statistics left out is percentage wise, the U.S. has less
murders than Canada or Europe.

Canada has a smaller population than the U.S.

If both counteies murder rates were completely equal with 20 percent of
Canada's people murdering and 20 percent of the U.S. people murdering, those
statistics purposely make it sound like the U.S. has a higher percentage of
people murdering by purposely leaving out any mention of the percentages and
simply saying that a higher number of people in the U.S. commit murders than
the number of people in Canada that commits murders.

The facts in the U.S. show that the cities where guns are allowed have almost
no crime at all, and the cities that prohibit guns or severely restrict guns
have the most crime of all. And these weren't just some organizations
claims, but government statistics show it is so, also.
