IMO, the number of guns is unrelated to the number of homicides.

so how would the Maryland sniper have critically injured 2 and killed 9 people and counting, even with 200 detectives, dozens of helicopters, the FBI and the entire US media searching for him, and with a half-million-dollar price on his head, if he didn't have a gun?. how would he have taken out that lady last night in the Home Depot parking lot and made a clean escape if there were no guns in this country? how would he have killed that father of six pumping gas the other day, with a cop less than 50 yards away, and made a clean escape, if he didn't have a gun? i guess if there were no guns he would have been a very good knife-thrower, lethal to 730 yards? how do you think they would have taken out Kennedy? how about the little six-year-old who shoots somebody?

there are over 30,000 firearm-related deaths a year in the US. in Canada, there are about 100 handgun murders a year. and you think the number of guns has nothing to do with it?
