Watched that show. Yeah, that guy twists things around for his purposes. Interesting point that Canada has all manner of guns and they don't seem to have much gun violence. There's the problem though. He ONLY asked how many people were killed with guns. The main point of the movie was supposed to be our violence in general, not just gun violence (and if it wasn't, it should have been, murder is murder, no matter how it's done). He should have asked how many murders, regardless of method, were done in Canada. That would have been a fairer comparison.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
