Actually, it's pronounced hari-kari.
It's a version of seppoku, which is part of Bushido. Ritualistic suicide to save face.
I couldn't think of the spelling of seppoku, so I was winging it.
Thanks.
However, as you confirmed, it's part of Japanese culture.
The point I am making is that even in a country where guns are outlawed, except to those using them for their job or sport.....people are murdered with them.
Banning them, especially in a country where there are already of millions of guns will do nothing to the law abiding citizen except to take them away from them and leave only the criminals with them.
Post a link to a shitload of stats and studies that demonstrate rates of suicide directly connected to the availability of guns.
Because I recently posted a shitload of stats and studies that proved the exact opposite.

thank Goodness The Nra Makes It Easy For Every Nut Case To Get A Gun.
You just post shit.
America leads the developed world in gun deaths per capita. America is awash with guns.

Gun Facts
Simply put .. the more guns, the more dead people.
It's just that simple.
But for those who cherish and love and need them to feel safe .. so be it.
Read it again.
We don't lead the world in suicides, which is the point I'm making. THe number of suicides has nothing to do with guns, except that suicides will use them if they're available. So if they're available, they're more likely to off themselves with them.
But if they aren't available, the rate of suicide doesn't go down.
And if they aren't available, the rate of gun violence increases instead of decreasing, EXCEPT in cases of DV. But once again, there is no marked reduction in the severity or occurence of DV just because guns aren't available.
The stat in the UK for 2007 was that there are 28 crimes committed with guns every day. There is 1 murder every week with a gun.
Are there more with knives? Of course there are..but this is a stat from a country that has had very strict guns laws for hundreds of years and for the last 10 years they have been even stricter.

And now they have skyrocketing burglarly numbers.
Such events may become even more commonplace in a depression in one of the most violent places on earth, the United States.
If only the 8 year-old kids had guns they could have defended themselves .. everyone knows the answer to astronomical gun deaths is more guns .. and more guns .. and more guns.
This is the perfect example of how isolated incidents can be blown so far out of proportion ... funny really.
