Japan has very few gun deaths. I believe it was less than 10 last year in a nation of over 100 million people.

And? They are a law abiding people….but obey authority like lemmings…the police have powers that would make your head spin…..up to and including searching people at any time for any reason…including their homes…….the judicial system? If you are arrested, you have no Rights and you will be convicted…. …..

Before you get too far along with their gun restrictions…..,

I believe you are being misled by a foreign con-job. Sorry, my friend. Getting rid of guns does nothing except allow the people to be controlled by others.

Either you want to help the people, or you support a fascist government. Make up your mind.

No…..in 2022 there was a total of 12 in the U.S……a country of over 350 million people……,,

74 total deaths……

Deer kill 200 a year….

Ladders kill 300 a year

Meanwhile, Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year to stop rapes, robberies, murders, beatings and stabbings………,according to the Centers for Disease Control….

If you like a police state, move to Japan…,,,

I'm surprised, the Japanese usually favor knife attacks.

Actually, Japan has a pretty long and bloody history of mass murders and attacks, with horrifically-large body counts. But Unkotare will disagree, of course.

I saw a swallow yesterday which surely shows that a huge heat wave is in store for us
Not .
It's the reverse of the usual Correlation= Cause idea and implicitly says that only fools generalise from single incidents .
