No I think it far more complex than that. As our friend Roger Moore pointed out in Bowling For Columbine, Canadians own just as many guns (if not more) per capita than we do yet their rate of gun death is much, much lower. I don't like guns, I don't own guns, I'd be perfectly happy in a gunless world. But it's not the guns.
