Apples and oranges. The majority of gun crime in the US is centered around the drug trade. Just as Prohibition created Al Capone and mass violence in the 20s, the War on Drugs has created an entire generation of violent gangs who fight over the vast profits to be made in the illegal drug trade. Canada has more liberal laws about such things, and frankly fewer people and therefore fewer profits to be made. There are lots of other historical reasons for violence in the US that Canada does not share.
