I was asked,"How many died under Stalin" As you can see from my post there are various opinions out there. What ever the actual number they were all real people.

As far as the murder of a single person in the US, one could ask why so many are killed/murdered with guns there.
14.24 per 100,000 as compared to 4.34 per 100,000 in Canada. Which is over 3 times greater. There is obviously not enough concern to do something about this problem. As was pointed out in Bowling for Columbine Americans are scared so, having weapons, large numbers shoot first and ask, if at all, later.
