USA has more gun killings a week then Canada does a year

[slapass]

"a country that has more firearm homicides every week than Canada has in a year. "
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-1...n-rampage.html

The USA is 9 times more populous so we have 5 times the firearm homicides. I thought it would be worse then that.

Too busy sucking each others dicks and looking for cp on the internet.

what country are you from?

[bronco67]

Canada is probably less violent overall, but the US has 10 times the population of Canada.

[seeandsee]

Homicide rates:

Guns almost totally legal:

USA Total: 12,996 Rate Per 100,000: 4.2

Guns stricly regulated, some banned completely, handguns, rifle and shotguns legal with correct license:

Canada Total: 554 Rate Per 100,000: 1.6

Guns even more stricly controlled, many types banned:

UK Total: 722 Rate Per 100,000: 1.2
Australia Total: 229 Rate Per 100,000: 1.0

Gotta love when ignorant tourists visit Florida and take a wrong turn into a heavy neighborhood somewhere.
Ya live stupid, ya die stupid.

[Rochard]

I read a stat yesterday that said more people die from firearm deaths in the US than Americans who have died in both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Not totally sure but that might be a thing of the past. I know in the upper midwest and NYC it is not true like it was. The "bad" part of town is pretty nice these days.

[L-Pink]

People don't decide to commit murder just because a gun is easy to get. They decide to commit pre-mediated murder because they are criminals. The gun is just a tool for a job someone has already decided to do.

It is because Canadians can only leave their houses for 5 weeks a year because it is too fucking cold the rest of the time

Personally this Canadian doesn't care if you guys kill each other,it's the innocent children that are killed that bother me.
These Labret and Jesus H Christ characters should get together and seek some professional help for their delusional /anger issues.

Canadians live in a perpetual state of compare and contrast with America. Without this dichotomy they are nothing more than America-lite, a parasitic vassal state. As is evidenced by the incessant whining on this forum, Canadians spend much of their meager intellectual resources defining what it is to be a Canadian by trying to convince the world, and themselves, how much they are unlike their American superiors.

Premeditated murder is rare. Crimes of opportunity are common. People do things when they are high/drunk/mad that they would not normally do. So easy access to guns is proven to cause more deaths.

And honestly you have to be jerkin my chain and can't believe what you wrote.

True, but I'm referring to the recent school shootings where planning was involved.

Lololol, funny that the world is banging on the door of Mark Carney for advice. I know you have no idea who he is but he's the governor of the bank of canada. The ONLY country that was able to withstand the recent recession. He was recently hired by the UK to help them out since Canada is doing so well.

[Makaveli]

Just a lot more asshole in America.

We have a similiar saying whenever we see a vehicle with Michigan plates go through the ice on the lakes north of Toronto.

More breaking Canadian news... Someone asks a Canadian guy for advice.

Are you serious?

I don`t care if you exterminate each others ... except when I happen to spend time there ( Florida, the state of the gun crazies ) .

Maybe we should be provided with guns when we enter the states as more guns make the place safer

From a Canadian (I say that word very loosely because I'm ashamed at being one) who now lives in the US and a US citizen, I will gladly take the random violence in the US than to live in that rathole of a country Canada again. Seriously, the country is a joke from top to bottom.

Taxes are the highest of any western country

Their military is a joke, how much of joke? They sent their armed forces to the middle east in "Green jungle Camo" gear . They are supposed to blend with the desert, not stand out Then when the US forces made fun of them and told them to take their forces far far away from the US contingent, the Canadian forces went to the army store and dyed their gear with that sandy colors, until the canadian gov't could order new desert military gear. And when those new gear arrived, after a few weeks of usage, it started to fade

Their military equipment is so old and outdated, they were rated worst than some eastern bloc countries.

I kid you not about the above story, as silly and funny as it sounds, it is 100% true and was well documented

When politicians in the US are exposed to wrong doings, they usually try to deny/cover up it, and then if they can't, they usually resign. In Canada, when crooked politicians are exposed, they don't get fired/resigned, the response is almost "so what" and they keep their jobs.

The people are just so incompetent for a lack of a better word. It's like their goal in life is to be so incompetent. Their favorite term is "I have no idea". Their health care system is a joke. You wait in the ER when you are in the hospital for 5-6 hours before receiving medical attention. Their doctors favorite medication to prescribe? Tylenol 3. It doesn't matter what's wrong with you, that's their favorite medication to give a sick person. Comes back to the whole incompetent thing.

They like to brag that they are better than the Americans and more liked. No it's because the rest of the world is getting a kick out of laughing at the Canadians, it's not liking you, they feel sorry for you

And they seem to think they are the best in Hockey. The sense of entitlement is hilarious because they think they are better than anyone else at it. Always brings a smile to my face when they get their butts kicked by the US, Russia, Sweden,etc.. and then you get a greater enjoyment hearing the excuses as to why they lost.

I could go on and on about Canada till my faces turns blue. Bottom line is that besides the French in Quebec which I feel sorry for being stuck in Canada (and it's no wonder they want to separate), the rest of Canada is a place you want to stay far far away from unless you are a terrorist. Canada is the #1 safe haven for terrorists of all types. Middle east terrorists, somolian pirates, asian gangsters, etc...they all run to Canada.

Ever since I moved to the US and got my citizenship, I couldn't have been happier. Now I go back to Canada to look into my real estate affairs, and to visit family and I get the hell out the first chance I get. Good riddance How's that for a "Canadian's" take?

[Spunky]

I wish more of you separatist frogs followed you and got the fuck out.I would be a miserable traitor if I lived in Quebec.I agree with one part of your babel ..stay far far away

[EliteWebmaster]

U mad bro? I knew my comments would hurt some Canadians but what I said is the truth and you probably know it, hopefully ;). Maybe me calling Canada a rathole was a bit harsh on my part but the problem with Canadians is that they are oblivious to the world around them.

ps. I'm not a frog as you pointed out. I'm not even French

[Spunky]

Doesn't hurt my feelings.
I pay 56 bucks a month for medical and walk into a clinic as many times as needed and get help within 1/2 hour,it's not perfect but it works for me
Yea our taxes suck.nobody likes being taxed
Who gives a shit about military.nobody really wants to attack us,only because of our association with the US ,besides we have our American brothers to have our backs,we don't need to flex our muscle or the lack of

[2MuchMark]

We prefer drinking beer to shooting guns.

[Supz]

a country twice the size with half the popular. that makes sense.

the reasons you list are dumb but whatever makes you happy. what makes you happy about living in the US? and oh, corporate taxes are one of the lowest in developed countries. lower than the US.

the USA gives itself the right to invade/murder/bomb/cripple economies based on the fact that "you are the greatest country in the world" but, in all fairness, your shit smells worse than ours...

you give yourself the right to meddle in other countries business but you take offence when somebody points out the painful truth about your failure?

you have 100.000-s of armed mercenaries on other peoples territory, your mickey mouse politics spreads over the whole planet, you tell others how to live...so please excuse our meddling in your internal affairs because you obviously feel we are stepping over the line

nothing against americans just pointing out why we give a fuck...

In all honesty now, where would Canada be without US as its main trading partner ? Just like China, Canada basically relies on the US to buy all their stuff. Take Canada away and the US would be just fine. Take the US away and Canada would turn third world in a decade.

Also don't forget that Canada can 'afford' their healthcare and other socialist crap because they don't have to pay for their own security. The big boys with guns down south make sure the Russians aren't simply taking the far north.

Finally, the guns debate in the US is not strictly about guns but rather about the ability of an individual to NOT rely on his government for anything, including his own protection. This independent attitude, this risk-taking mentality is what made and still makes the US the #1 country in the world. Being the only superpower isn't an accident.

exactly...

man im from shit hole 3rd world serbia...there is no such thing as a "Wrong hood" in my shit stain country...we just came out of 2 bloody civil wars, we had more weapons than any paranoid NRA rambo, hundreds of thousands of dead during the wars, rivers run red from genocide blood type of shit AND STILL we have a miniscule amount of weapons on the streets, NO and i do mean NO gangs/hood/wrong parts of any town and waaaaay less shootings than the USA

can you guys imagine how fucked up it is for a serbian 3rd world coconut like me to be shocked at hoe far things have degenerated in the USA?

man I honestly feel sorry for americans how their government is screwing them over and what great country they really could be...

Well Canada is the number one country that the US exports to in the amount of 280 billion per year. So it might cause some effect if that were to stop. Last time i checked the US isn't actively protecting the far north, canada is and while yes canada and a number of countries rely on the US for backup if shit hits the fan its because we're allies. there are certain people that just shouldn't have access to guns, plain and simple. it doesn't mean no one should have access to them. you can buy guns at canadian tire in canada but not assault rifles.

first of all if you believe that your an idiot. I have gotten lost everytime I go to Miami and been down streets that looked like I was in a movie and even got help on where to go. Sure hanging out in places like that makes your chances worse just like hanging with you chances are you will have a sore ass when you wake up
