And that's my point. Just because you take away guns, or in the case of Canada, just make it harder to obtain them legally (I read up on their laws a little while ago), does not mean that people who feel like killing someone else is suddenly going to stop and not do it because they cannot get a gun. They will just find other ways to do it, which the data shows.
