So your point is that the US and Canada have roughly the same percentage of gun owners. Presumably you're OK with agreeing that Canada's rate of violent crime is drastically lower than the US's rate.
Which leads me back to the original point, that gun ownership and rates of violent crime are completely uncorrelated. Done now.
