SummaryDid you know that Canada has more guns per house than the United States? This is actually because Canada has a lot more hunting guns than the States, but they have more hand guns and more dangerous guns then we do. Gun Control in Canada has been a very controversial subject in the past few years for Canadians and also other countries around the world, like the United States. The first law passed involving Gun control was in 1892, when the Criminal Code of Canada required individuals to have a permit to carry a pistol. Canada has always had stricter gun control laws then the United States, and a lower criminal offence rate, but a higher suicide rate . This essay will focus on the history of gun control in Canada, smuggling of guns into Canada, gun control laws in Canada vs. the United States, recent gun control controversy, and events where guns were a major problem, like the Montreal Massacre, and the United States vs. Miller case.
