Guns are everywhere in the US, it all boils down to population, you pack alot of people into small area's you get crime, you have crime, then u have people who want to defend themselves, thats where guns come in. Canada doesnt have these problems, hell, the entire country is smaller then NYC and LA combined. And the inner city problems migrate all over the fucking place, I live 2 hours from NYC and theres gangs out of NYC up here in mass. Add the gangs out of Boston/Hartford and Local gang's, theres not too many places you really want to be.
But I'd rather carry a pistol around and never use it, then need a gun and not have one.
