A concept that gun culture consistently fails to grasp is that a) technology is an enabler and b) humans, even the homicidal, are lazy. It's true guns don't kill people; but it's also true guns as an independent factor increase the probability of people killing people. The size of this effect is very much in need of empirical analysis. However the nra has behaved in bad faith on this issue.
Also Canada has less than half the per capita rate of firearm ownership compared to US.
