Sorry. I was distracted and failed to answer your question on Canada. Canadian culture is basically totally anti-gun except for hunters owning rifles. Where I live, I would expect less than 1% of the adults owns a handgun. We don't have open carry. I only seen a young person with a handgun once in my life, and he was with a bunch of bikers doing cocaine at a party. Some of the gangs in Toronto have smuggled guns from the States, but other that that kids don't have guns. I'm never afraid of getting shot anywhere I go. There isn't a culture of violence in Canada.
Personally I'm scared of guns, but I know how the American conservatives think. They won't give their guns to the government. The only solution I see, is to pass laws to get it off the hands of crazy people. American culture is different.
