That's true actually, the data I cited was about the number of guns, not number of owners. However the US is the number 1 nation by rate of ownership, whereas Canada comes in at number 13.
Actually, given the rate of gun ownership in the US, the shocking thing is that there aren't more shootings. I also can't believe that there is no central government database of gun ownership; since you have to fill out forms when you buy many firearms in order to get security vetted, why don't they simply collate that information to keep tabs on who owns what?
