My home country (Iceland) has the highest gun ownership in Europe. It’s not much compared to the US, but it’s interesting that we have almost no gun violence. The reason is that we have very strict gun control with thorough background checks, mandatory training and psych evaluations. In addition to that, we have a functioning healthcare system and low income inequality. All these things need to be adressed before the US sees a decrease in gun violence.
Probably because most of those Canadians actually have a fucking good reason to be armed, IE for hunting, defending against dangerous wildlife, competitive shooting
Why doesn’t Canada see a similar per capita rate of shootings despite having more guns per capita than the US?
Pls automatic vs hunting stat per capita.
Maybe because their gun laws are a lot more strict? Kind of proves the point that gun regulation works doesn’t it?

I’m not against regulations. It’s just something that came up in Bowling for Columbine that I’ve found interesting.
