Let's face it when it comes to Guns and fixation with Guns and all the rationale to justify it, US is a different beast altogether.. That is not to say being a neighbour we are not borrowing some of that traits but here is something to ponder a bit.. Don't personally think ethnic mix has anything to do with it..

"The only correlation I have seen is that countries that never had a lot of guns and don't provide easy access, end up with less gun crime. That's not to say no gun crime, but much much less than otherwise."

I'd think that crime is crime, whether it is "gun crime" or stick/ knife/ fist crime.

In these "low gun crime" places, is there big-against-little or aggressive-against-timid crime? Or just no crime at all to speak of?
