Anyone know what the latest homicide rate is in Canada? Try 1.6 victims per 100,000 people. Want to try to hazzard a guess what it is in the US?..Try 4.2 per 100,000! Anyone want to try to guess what the main reason mght be? Could it possibly be that Canada has actively tried to control guns and ammunition for over the last 100 years? It is not illegal to own, hand guns, rifles, etc in Canada. It is extremly regulated though. And, once you are licensed, it has to be re-newed every 5 years. > Now then, does all this work 100% of the time? Of course not, but it is pretty obvious that it helps. > BTW, I am a gun owner/pistol permit holder and I welcome more stringent controls… hard to use statistics like that to compare countries though. canada at about 38 million vs usa at about 300 million, or in terms of PDensity, it’s 9:1 vs about 85:1(people per sqaure mile) I do however agree in the regulation terms, relicensing on a reulated basis, etc. As a responsible gun owner I do feel THAT is a good thing just the same as registering ALL firearms, not just pistols. If one feels that registering all guns is a bad idea, then they have somethig to hide… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/27-dead-in-school-shooting/265750)._
