Canada: 165 gun deaths, pop: 30M, rate: 1 per 181000
UK: 65 gun deaths, pop 60M, rate: 1 per 923000
No correlation I'm sure.
Whilst Moore did not take the more useful rate measure into account, on the dataset provided above, there is a correlation. Of course, the dataset is extremely limited indeed and thus inaccuracies arise, but the trend this suggests (and would, of course, need backing up with further data with regard to level of policing of gun control (eg, almost non-existant in many parts of africa, eastern europe, south america, etc), gun laws, etc, etc) does not agree with your contention that there is no correlation.
