On a per capita basis, Canada has far fewer gun deaths than America, but a much better comparison would be made by comparing America with European or some Asian countries.

The gun-related deaths per 100,000 people in 1994 by country were as follows:

U.S.A. 14.24

Canada 4.31

Australia 2.65

Italy 2.44

Germany 1.24

England and Wales 0.41

Japan 0.05
