Its not due to availability its due to more people per square kilometer. My province had 4.8 people per sq km, Canada has 8 people per sq km. By comparison Florida has 136 people per sq km. You dont see how that can cause at least twenty times as many altercations in parking lots, highways, streets, way more people in the same area way more people having interactions with each other
Most of the shootings in the US were proven to be instances of self defense as well, youre also including all the gangs in East LA, NYC, Chicago, Detroit and then dividing that across all of the USA. Just not an accurate picture
And im the living proof, how many guns have been pulled on either of you? Im at 3 and im in gun controlled canada where a guy was trying to sell me guns out of his trunk, try again lol
