You want to take up their gun laws then?Yes, little demand by criminals because there is low gun ownership with the lawful. Lots of lawful ownership guarantees lots of criminal ownership.Gun control needs a police force capable of enforcing the laws, yes. Mexico does not have that. Japan does.Wow, you just keep digging yourself a hole. so you are saying that gun control doesn't work when people decide they don't want to follow the law?
What Japan has is a criminal class that does not want to use guns in confrontations with the police. They avoid the police.
There is little demand for guns in Japan. it's a cultural thing, not a law thing. The Yakuza could easily get firearms and use them if it saw fit, regardless of the laws.
You have zero proof of either of your statements. You are assuming a causal link where there is none in both cases.
Every male Swiss citizen keeps an ACTUAL battle rifle in his house if he is part of the militia. how does that translate to Swiss criminal gun ownership?
you want to allow every law abiding male to keep a full auto rifle in their house?
The point I am trying to make that you don't get is that culture plays far more of a role in violence in a society than access to guns.
