"I'm not saying they exist everywhere else; I'm saying that where people have the right to weaponry they don't go around shooting each other except here. Look at the number of guns owned per person in Canada - yet they don't go shooting each other over what music someone is playing in their car! That kind of gun violence, or shooting up a dorm full of women because you couldn't get as laid as you felt you should have been, takes an American sense of entitlement to not have to put up with annoyance, an American sense of violence as an acceptable response to annoyance, and an American attitude that shooting people who annoy you is something to be proud of/aspire to."

Gun owners in Canada are mostly hunters. Handgun owners are not allowed to carry a loaded gun in an automobile or on their person. If they are transporting the gun to a gun club, the ammunition must be separate from the weapon. Guns in the home must be stored in a separate location from the ammunition. Concealed carry permits are all but non-existent and I have never seen anyone out of uniform open carry except when hunting.
