That's a pretty broad statement, how about a few stats to back it up? And
if
it is true, I'd wonder how similar stats for Canada would correlate to
the US ones?

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

.... snip of history

A bit of more recent history. For those who think disarming the populace
is a good idea, read very carefully the accounts of what happened in Mumbai
last week. Just a couple of armed citizens (heck, one or two armed police
officers with ammunition) could have prevented a lot of savagery. Instead,
the populace was reduced to being a bunch of unarmed, helpless sheep whom
these monsters were able to slaughter at will. The cameraman who got the
pictures of one of the savages made the statement that he wished he had a
gun instead of a camera.

He also made the statement that the policemen wouldn't fire on the
terrorists. There is some speculation that the police may have had guns
but no ammunition.
