Deaths by gun violence in the USA in 2021 were 48,830 (1). Deaths from MAID in 2021 in Canada were 10,092 (2). Even per capita this is not 25x higher. If considering medical malpractice, there is a commonly misunderstood and incorrect value that circulates (3). 1. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/ 2. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/health-system-services/annual-report-medical-assistance-dying-2022.html 3.https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-health/medical-error-not-third-leading-cause-death
