It's probably to do with racial makeup, weather, and a host of other
factors totally unrelated to firearms. When making comparisons, all
factors must be taken into account. John Lott did that. His still
unrefuted findings show that more guns equals less crime.
"One in four Canadians feels unsafe walking in their own neighbourhood
at night. Only 10% of males reported feeling unsafe, whereas 42% of
women reported feeling unsafe."
(The Prevention and Children Committee of the National Crime
Prevention Council)
"According to police statistics, the rate of violent crime in Canada
has increased fourfold over the past three decades."

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
