For the last decade, Canada has averaged around 268 gun homocides a year. The decade before (the lowest gun homicide decade in recent history) Canada averaged around 178 gun homocides a year. The population has risen from about 35 million in 2015 to 41 million in 2025. While the gun deaths per capita has risen a bit from the previous (low) decade, I would hardly describe it as "bodies piling up."

    Maybe not bodies piling up, but that's almost a 30% increase per capita, which is pretty significant.

    Still, it doesn't take into account the per captia as the population has increased greatly in that time period. It also compares with the lowest decade of homicide by guns in a long time. Per capita, the 1970s were higher.

    I think the world should come together and fund and build a wall around the USA.

    So, the US has a "fence" on the Canadian border.

    I was told legal firearms owners were the problem and outlawing guns will fix everything.

    Maybe we should make murder illegal. Sometimes it takes out of the box thinking like that.
