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.



"Per Capita" means per person or group of people. It applies the same
mathematically whether the group is 1 or 1,000,000. It is a ratio of murders
to the given population. In other words, if there is one murder per 10,000
people in one country, and one murder per 100,000 people in another country,
then the second country's per capita murder rate is 10x higher.
