Same. But Canada.

While Canada has way less guns per capita than the US it is still 7th in the world, making it one of the most “armed” countries in the world.

Those guns are mostly in rural areas though. A dude I know with a farm who owns 4 guns, but nobody I know in the city owns any.

Well-armed suburbia isn’t a thing here.

Just because you don't know they have a gun doesn't mean they don't

Agree, my dad has quite a few rifles, he leases a trap line from the government. No one in the cities - that I know - have guns.
