[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was nice traveling to other parts of the world for a long trip.  We didn't see a single murder on the news that was a shooting and didn't involve a crime of passion due to a lover's quarrel.  A city with million of people larger than NYC and basically zero shootings for weeks.  It's really remarkable how much safer you feel when absurd gun culture doesn't even exist.

A country like Japan makes it insanely difficult to own a gun.  According to the National Police Agency, there were nine incidents involving guns last year, in which four people died and two were injured. Of the nine, six cases appeared to be associated with organized crime syndicates.  So in other words....gun violence is virtually non-existent in the entire country of Japan.  Meanwhile, the US has a 1000x more shooting per capita than Japan.  You get shot going to the grocery store, the movies, to school, or even at church.   The US is so, soooooo gone and is pretty much a 2nd world country on par with Brazil than the tier of modern 1st world countreies. [/quote]

Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe stabbed to death by attacker.  - 8 July 2022[/quote]

Nope. Abe was [i]shot[/i] to death - [i]not[/i] stabbed - in a country with an almost 100% prohibition on guns.

And yet he was assassinated by a guy (a socialist leftist, btw)  who used a homemade shotgun, including the ammunition. And “homemade” in this case didn’t mean a “ghost gun” like we have here - it means the entire gun was made from raw materials. Which is exactly what criminals here will do if guns are banned. And they’ll still have guns, regardless of how illegal you make them. You can make them more illegal than murder itself, and criminals will still have guns. And then  they’ll be the only people with guns. And the public will be totally at their mercy, unlike now, where the ambiguity and uncertainty of whether some stranger might be armed or not affords a measure of protection for everyone. But when criminals know literally everyone except them are unarmed, it will be a field day for them.
