You have to think population as well.

if there are 100 murders in canada with a population of 30,000,000, then 1000 would be equivelent with the US population at 300,000,000.

I know its more than a thousand a year in the US, but say 1000 is "normal". oOo:

Movies and games have some influence. I think its hard to say they don't.

Ialthough you can't really say that a person shot another ONLY because of a movie or game. It's a combination of things, but I don't think violence on tv and games helps out any.
