Japanese here. You know we're famous for being a safe country. There is very little violent crime compared to western countries.

You know why? Because people are severely punished for infractions, and prisons are not made pleasant for prisoners.

No, main reason is the guns. There are very strict gun laws in Japan that make very hard to get a license and own a gun. There are about 180,000 gun licenses in Japan (and most are for hunting). https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/05/31/national/crime-legal/gun-control-explainer/

There are more than 400M firearms in the US and in many states any imbecile can get war weapons with little control and even conceal carry. [/quote]

That might be a compelling argument, were it not for Switzerland, where there is a government-issued, fully automatic machine gun and ammunition in most Swiss households. And the Swiss have about the same level of gun violence as Japan - essentially zero.

So clearly the presence of guns is not the issue.

Keep digging. [/quote]

Dig this.  The voters don't want all these guns polluting our society and they vote for representation to get rid of some of them.[/quote]
