That's not true. The murder rate in Canada was tiny compared to the States'
_before_ the restrictive laws came into effect. Canada has less violent
crime because Canadians are a less violent people. (I know, I know, you're 
all shocked :-) 

Anti-gun laws only seem to work in Canada because there isn't a violent
crime problem to begin with. And if you try to apply similar laws in
a more violent place such as the States, the crime would run rampant.

Rediculous. Criminals kill people, and if you take away their guns, they
will find dozens of other ways to do it (if not other illegal guns). 

You give law-abiding citizens the right to arm themselves, and crime drops
for two reasons. First because criminals change their mind about going 
against somebody that might shoot them, and second because if they do
try to murder/rape/rob somebody, they'll be stopped! The lower crime rate 
in Kennesaw, GA is a perfect example of the first point, and as for the
second, there are an estimated 2 million crimes that are prevented every year 
in the States because people have the freedom to protect themselves with 
a firearm.
