Fatherless homes are the problem, not guns.....

[Mac-7]

Their laws and government aren't.

You just told us their laws are very different than here

 

[Smokin' OP]

Only their GUN laws.
MOST are very similar.

 

[bodecea]

There are fatherless homes all over the world....but no country like ours when it comes to gun violence. I wonder what's different. If we only knew.

 

[Mac-7]

Only their GUN laws.
MOST are very similar.

Only since democracy was imposed by Gen MacArthur in 1945

But the Japanese character is several thousand years old of subservience to authority and suppressed individuality

Only since democracy was imposed by Gen MacArthur in 1945

So?
MacArthur made their laws?

Japan stopped their criminals from using guns by giving 10 years for mere possession, more if you have bullets worh the gun, life in prison if you use it dor any crime.....and they have a 95% conviction rate if you are arrested.....and forceed confessions....

The Japanese banned guns as far back as the Meiji restoration.

You really have no knowledge of japanese history at all

Yes, MacArthur wrote their constitution

 

[Smokin' OP]

Yes, MacArthur wrote their constitution.

SO?

"The rights and duties of the people" are featured prominently in the post-war constitution. Thirty-one of its 103 articles are devoted to describing them in detail, reflecting the commitment to "respect for the fundamental human rights" of the Potsdam Declaration. Although the Meiji Constitution had a section devoted to the "rights and duties of subjects" which guaranteed "liberty of speech, writing, publication, public meetings, and associations", these rights were granted "within the limits of law" and could be limited by legislation.

Freedom of religious belief was allowed "insofar as it does not interfere with the duties of subjects" (all Japanese were required to acknowledge the Emperor's divinity, and those, such as Christians, who refused to do so out of religious conviction were accused of lèse-majesté). Such freedoms are delineated in the post-war constitution without qualification.

Individual rights under the Japanese constitution are rooted in Article 13 where the constitution asserts the right of the people "to be respected as individuals" and, subject to "the public welfare", to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". This article's core notion is jinkaku, which represents "the elements of character and personality that come together to define each person as an individual", and which represents the aspects of each individual's life that the government is obligated to respect in the exercise of its power.[41] Article 13 has been used as the basis to establish constitutional rights to privacy, self-determination and the control of an individual's own image, rights which are not explicitly stated in the constitution.

Yes......so they could control their people........

Yet the Yakuza had all the guns they wanted and used them as needed until they had prison sentences too long to make using a gun practical...

In the U.S....the democrat party prosecutors, judges and politicians can't release violent gun criminals fast enough....often on no cash bail......

Big difference between Japan and us is if you use a gun for any crime in Japan, you go to prison for life.....if you are caught with a gun you do 10 actual years in prison, and if you are caught with a gun with bullets, the 10 years is increased....and you do all the time....no bail, no release....

EXACTLY.

Strict gun laws mean Japan sees fewer shooting deaths​

Oct 3, 2017 — Under current law, citizens are banned from not only possessing, carrying, selling or buying handguns or rifles but also importing gun parts.

Ignore all you wish but Japan has an entirely different culture than here in the US.

Japan is also a homogenous country.

Well, more along the lines of that Japan had holdouts who wanted to maintain a feudal way of life when the Meiji Emperor was trying to modernize the country and avoid it being bitchslapped like China was. Oh, heavens, no. How terrible.

Yet the Yakuza had all the guns they wanted and used them as needed until they had prison sentences too long to make using a gun practical...

Um, guy, the Yakuza or the Mafia isn't the problem. Our problem is the nitwit who shoots his wife because she burned the pot roast.

Japan doesn't have that problem. We do.

The Japanese only lock up 48,000 people. We lock up 2 million. If prisons were a deterent, then they'd have the crime problems, not us.

Instead, they have cities where women can walk down the street at night in Tokyo without worry.

Moron.....the majority of gun crime in the U.S. is criminals, not domestic shootings.....true....criminals shooting their baby mommas is an issue...but the clue to the problem is the "criminals," part of the equation....guys who should be in jail, not running around loose....but then the democrat party who keeps releasing them no matter how many gun crimes they commit need them out there shooting people.....

We lock up 2 million people. Locking people up isn't an answer.

Most gun murders are domestic and acquaintance violence.

Gang murders are less than 13% of all homicides committed.

Go back to review and you’ll find that the stupid stuff on this topic is all yours

They sure embrace most of our western culture.

 

[Mac-7]

They sure embrace all our western culture.

Such as ritual suicicide?

Imagine half a million otherwise sane GI’s in the Pacific War eagerly dying for their supreme ruler FDR like loyal Kamikaze’s

You cant?

Neither can I
