Estimates are that there’s a firearm in 23-33% of Canadian households, while estimates for the US are around 44%.
I don’t disagree that the firearms are a problem, or even a factor, but it certainly doesn’t seem likely that it’s the root cause unless there’s some tipping point between 1-1.5/5 houses and 2/5 houses that makes things substantially more dangerous.
