@shams:
Have you seen "Bowling for Columbine"? If not, I would recommend viewing it.
Canada allows citizens to carry firearms, but in terms of per-capita deaths due to firearms, the US takes the cake by a wide, wide margin. Hell, it takes the entire bakery franchise!
It's not the just the availability of firearms. My native country also allows the purchase of firearms, which you can purchase in department stores, no less. However, deaths related to firearms are pretty low compared to the other "more popular" forms of homicide (public lynching, for example).
