Not if you want to use wiki as a source who rates per capita the US #1 and Canada #12, I also read Michael Moore said that years ago and factcheck stated incorrect.
No, that controversy is over the number of guns person for all people in Canada and the US.
We are just talking about risk to police, in which case ONLY the guns in the hands of criminals matter. All the honest people could be totally disarmed or armed, and it would not make any difference at all. And the ratio of police to criminals is pretty constant because if you have fewer criminals, they you also have fewer police.

Only cops
Here is an example of how one can easily prove there are only bad cops.

Search of Justine Damond's home draws scrutiny in southwest Minneapolis
Neighbors want to know what BCA hoped to find in scouring victim's home.
Southwest Minneapolis residents at an August forum on policing point to a question that's come up repeatedly since Justine Ruszczyk Damond was killed by a police officer in July.
Just past sunrise the morning after a Minneapolis police officer shot and killed Justine Ruszczyk Damond, more than a half-dozen state agents piled into the victim’s house on Washburn Avenue, searching for blood, hair, guns, ammunition, knives, drugs or “writings” that would help them understand what happened.
Don Damond, the victim’s fiancé, was still trying to get back to Minneapolis from out of town.
Investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) took nothing from the home, according to the warrant. The Damond family’s attorney said the search was appropriate, but it has provoked anger in southwest Minneapolis.
“Why would you search someone’s house if something happened in another place and they were killed?” said Jim Miller, who lives in nearby Linden Hills. “This didn’t happen at her house.”
The search was the second recent instance in Minnesota of investigators scouring the home of a person shot and killed by police. BCA agents received a warrant to search Philando Castile’s home after he was killed by a police officer in Falcon Heights in 2016.
Agents did not search the home of Jamar Clark after he was shot and killed by Minneapolis police in 2015, said Jill Oliveira, a spokeswoman for the BCA.
The warrant for the Damond home was granted by District Judge Laurie Miller at 5:38 a.m. on July 16, the morning after the shooting, and state agents searched the home at 6:30 a.m. They wanted to give prosecutors the most complete picture possible, Oliveira said, and there could have been clues in the house.
“At the time, investigators were unsure of the events leading up to her death,” Oliveira said. “As stated in the warrant, MPD officers involved in the incident were not providing information to investigators at that time.”
Bob Bennett, the lawyer who represented the Castile family and is representing Don Damond, said he has no problem with the search of the Damond home, since Justine Damond’s call to police about a possible assault nearby emanated from there.
“There’s a more logical tie to a search warrant there,” Bennett said. “If I was in charge of the investigation, I would have ordered it done.”
The search of Castile’s home, phone and social media accounts, Bennett said, had far less justification.
“I find it fairly repugnant in the Castile situation, and really not repugnant at all in Justine’s case,” Bennett said.
...}
The point is that all police should know the castile doctrine, which essentially says that each individual has sovereign rights to the privacy of their home, and that can only be violated when absolutely necessary to defend the rights of others, due to actual sworn testimony of criminal activity.
There was no evidence of criminal activity by Justine, so any judge, lawyer, cop, etc., should know the search was a crime.
So then any cop who even hears about this after the fact or before, has to do something about it, or they are a "bad" cop. There can't be 2 standards, one for civilians and one for cops. This was a criminal act, and either is punished or not. And if not, then there are NO "good" cops.
