First, most of the criminals here committing crimes involving firearms and using ILLEGAL firearms. So even if you completely banned guns in the US, it would not affect these criminals in the least bit. Second, I could be wrong but I would assume Florida has a slightly bigger problem with gangs, crime syndicates, and drug cartels then Canada does; which results in the larger body count (none of which would be affected by government "Gun Control").
