According to Omelet's post, guns save 20 times more lives than they take
(in the US). According to the OP, the US has 5 times the rate of gun
homicides as Canada, where gun play is frowned on. If Omelet's assertion
is correct, Canada should have the higher gun homicide rate because
people aren't using their guns for self defence.
