Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysenâs surprise announcement Monday that he will not seek reelection this year is the latest indication that moderate Republicans like him and Rep. Frank LoBiondo, who have dominated New Jersey for decades, are an increasingly endangered species.
Canada, on the other hand, ranks 13th on the studyâs list, with 9.95 million firearms â or 31 per 100 residents. Moore is right that Canada has a far lower rate of firearm homicides than its neighbour to the south.According to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 11,000 homicides were committed using firearms in the U.S. in 2011.his is not true. While the U.S. does have a homicide rate nearly double that of most developed countries like Canada, it doesnât have the worldâs highest homicide rate. With 6.4 homicides per 100 thousand people, the U.S. falls behind countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
The lowest gun ownership rate among the 178 countries surveyed as of 2007 was reported from Tunisia, with 0.1 (or a total number of 9,000 guns), due to very strict gun control under the Ben Ali regime (compare the rates of the neighboring states, Algeria: 7.6, Libya: 15.5).he Small Arms Survey 2007, provides an estimate of the total number of known civilian-owned guns in a country per 100 people of that country. These numbers say nothing about which percentage of the population owns those guns.
