That is totally false.

Do a google search.  Here's an example:

http://www.guncontrol.ca/Content/TheCaseForGunControl.html

It says that US gun ownership per capita is about 3 times that of
Canada.  Other web pages say roughly the same thing.

But I still can't believe that per-capita gun ownership in Canada (and
% of households with guns) is roughly 25%.  There is no way that 1 out
of every 4 people, or 1 out of every 4 homes in Canada - has a gun.

Maybe some people (or some homes) have 4, 5, 20 guns.  But you can't
tell me that there is a gun in 1 out of every 4 homes in Canada. 
Maybe in some neighborhoods in Toronto and Vancouver.  But not across
all of Canada.
