FACT: The Bush administration told the American public that Iraq and Afghanistan needed to be invaded, and Saddam and the Taliban removed, because the USA was in iminent danger from a terrorist attack.

FACT: After 9/11 there was news report after news report telling you, the American public, that you were in iminent danger from a terrorist attack.

FACT: Many Americans I have met or communicated with that the American public is in danger from a terrorist attack. To quote one Californian I recently met, "They could strike any place, at any time.. We need to be prepared". Even Americans on this website say they need guns for 'protection'.

FACT: In Canada there are roughly 7 million guns (population 30.2m), compared to 222 million guns in the US (poulation 270m). This equates to 0.25 guns per capita in Canada, and 0.82 in the US.. (1998)

FACT: %27 of homicides in Canada were with firearms, compared to %66 in the US. thats a difference of x2.4 (1998)

FACT: The overall homicide rate in Canada is 1.83 in every 100,000. This is compared to 6.62 in the US. (1998)

So, based on these facts, more guns = more deaths. So dont give me any of this "you dont know us" bullshit, the facts speak for themselves. Later
