I really don't want to debate gun control but... everything can't just be about numbers. There are cultural differences too. Plus the Japanese, not to mention many, many other countries do not have the right to bear arms written in their constitution.
I seriously think we'd be better off focusing our efforts on factors leading to violence rather the choice of tool people choose to use when acting violently.
I'm hoping that's the last time I feel like posting on this subject here.
