Let’s bring data:

Civilian firearms per 100 people: - US = 120.5 vs Canada = 34.7

Share of adults with guns: - US = 32% vs Canada = 19%

Share who CARRY a gun: - US = 26% of handgun owners carry all the time and 32% most of the time vs Canada = almost nobody carries

Please tell me this is a joke?

Why? Do you have different data or you just don’t like the numbers?

		I fail to understand why you cited ChatGPT in the first comment instead of just linking the sources in the first place. That was obviously the critique of your comment, and it seems bad-faith to claim it was because they "just don't like the numbers".

I agree and have the same reaction, but I also wonder how long before we accept "ChatGPT" source like we do Wikipedia.

For ChatGpt answers we reasonably expect to cite actual sources rather than "Source: ChatGPT".

For Wikipedia, most of us just stop at "Source: Wikipedia".
