re: #86 Gus

We are a country that grows up watching murders on television. We are country that glorifies war and readily blows of “collateral damage.” We are a country that laughs in a movie theater when a character is decapitated or riddled with bullets. We are a country that watches music video that fetishizes gun in the cities. We are a country that creates and plays video games in which we severely beat, maim and murder electronic characters on our computer screens. We are a country that see death as means of attaining foreign policy goal and death as a means of settling our personal grievances. We are a country that thinks the dead go on living for eternity after they have been murdered or killed.

And yet, pretty much everything you said applies to Canada as well, yet our rate of violent death or accidental death is substantially lower that the US, and almost entirely because of lack of access to guns.
