Take those three locations out of the mix and you discover that the gun
crime rate is near zero. But that doesn't seem to matter as it doesn't fit
your agenda or bias.
So be it. Unlike most of Europe, my vehicles don't get broken into and
everything stolen out of them that isn't welded down.
That said, just a few miles from Moose's house, our company has
telecommunications equipment at a location so dangerous that we don't show
up anytime after dark and never without armed guards or police escort.

On a per capita basis, thus correcting for population size differences,
the USA has by far the highest rate of gun homicides and gun deaths in
general:

Three times that of the nearest “competititor”, Finland (where the
relatively high rate is driven by suicides).

Consider that it may not be that you northerners are less prone to
violence, but, at least in part, that there are so few of you. The US
population is about 9 times that of Canada, so any direct comparison of
absolute numbers of anything is meaningless.
