US has 10X as many firearms deaths per capita compared to Canada, which implies 100X as absolute value.

- refurb 4y agoWe’re talking mass shootings, not deaths which half are suicides.
- Pxtl 4y agoFirearm homicide was 8X. It's in the same article.
- refurb 4y agoI thought we were talking about mass shootings? But murder rates are only 3x the US v Canada. See the importance of the right statistics? 1000x more firearm deaths, but only 8x more firearm homicides but then 3x more murders. I would definitely agree the US has a worse murder problem than Canada, but making is purely a gun problem misses the point. Do guns play a role? Sure.
