Nothing, the US has about 8.5x more people than Canada.
I read about the Castle shooting, that's just heartbreaking if it went down how I think it went down. Why continue to reach when told not to? I guess I'm trained to deal with panicked situations and more importantly, know when someone is nervous or is panicking and act appropriately. Sounds like the officer was spooked once he was informed that the driver was a legal carry gun owner and told the guy to keep his hands up after initially asking for his ID.
