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.

It's not rocket science that an armed population is less crime friendly
than one that has it's rights curtailed.

All you have to do is ask yourself if I was a criminal and wanted to
commit a violent crime which town would I want to ply my trade. 1. A
town where most people were armed. 2. A town where gun rights were
restricted and most were not armed.

Only a gun grabber or Michael Bryant would have trouble answering such a
complex question.
