There are plenty of factors that account for that. First off, Canada's population is far smaller than ours, so obviously, their gun homicide numbers are going to be lower. Second off, Canada's population mostly consists of white citizens, while the US's population is made up of just about every race and ethnic group out there, so there's bound to be many race and ethnic related crimes to inflate our gun homicide rates. Third off, Canada isn't the crime free paradise that Moore makes it out to be, sorry.
