that Canada had 75% of its homocides commited without a gun. Take away the guns in the US and thats what you would have, 75% of the homocides or slightly less since we own millions more guns, would eventually be the % in the US.

We would still have a much higher number of homocides than Canada because we are a more violent nation. The numbers 1.85 homicides for every 100,000 people in Canada will never be that low here if problems totally unrelated to guns or weapons isnt fixed. I think this is called apples and oranges, is it not?
