Was it you pointing out the other day that Japan has the lowest gun violence rate while having perhaps the most stringent gun control regulations?
That link is not the enlightened progressive RSS feed. Verboten!

I agree but, the incidents of self-defense don't have to be proportional to the incidents of criminal gun violence.
Using the tried and true Democrat maxim, "If it saves just one life, it's worth it," Concealed Carry Laws are worth it.
Yeah, let's be like Japan!
Japan: Gun Control and People Control
I read that the Aurora massacre's death count exceeded the total amount of gun-related deaths in Japan.
But yeah, Japan has some crazy stringent gun control laws and virtually no gun-related deaths.
lol American Rifleman
lol Mind Control
We need to arm teenagers that go to movie theaters!
The article actually agrees with your statement,
It basically says, sure, you can have Japan's low crime rate if you're willing to settle for a police state or, in your words, "crazy stringent gun control laws."
lol if we adopt japanese gun control regulations, they'll come for my porno stash next!!!Gun banners might rejoice at a society where the police keep such a sharp eye on citizens' guns. But the price is that the police keep an eye on everything.
Policemen are apt to tell people reading sexually-oriented magazines to read something more worthwhile. Japan's major official year-end police report includes statistics like "Background and Motives for Girls' Sexual Misconduct." In 1985, the police determined that 37.4% of the girls had been seduced, and the rest had had sex "voluntarily." For the volunteers, 19.6% acted "out of curiosity", while for 18.1%, the motive was "liked particular boy." The year-end police report also includes sections on labor demands, and on anti-nuclear or anti-military demonstrations.
But not the most important part -- the conclusion
A police state where they're a-comin' for my porns!!!
God Bless the USA!
I doubt the US could do what Japan is doing without some Cons utional amendment, thus the point is probably moot as far as "becoming Japan" when it comes to gun-control.
But it does provide a kick in the teeth to the narrative that gun control only increases defenseless victims and thus, increased crime rates.
No, even the conclusion. I read the article to say Japan's gun control laws have resulted in a lower, near non-existent, incidence of gun violence.
Tell me, do you believe Americans would allow the types of gun control measures now in place in Japan?
Actually, Japan has a high incidence of sexual assault on women and extremely liberal laws on access to and the display of pornography. There are sexually explicit displays everywhere and Japan is grappling (pun intended) with groping on their public transportation and in public areas.
So, I'm not sure to what you're referring or to what you believe that excerpt is referring.
How high compared to the US?
Actually, all it says is, a police state will result in a lower incidence of crime by a pacified population. Their gangs are still murdering each other at a pretty good clip. They're just more discriminating than our gangs.
Also, if you paid attention to the article, the definitions of homicide in the U.S. and Japan differ, resulting in a larger than realistic disparity.
But, yeah, bottom line is, if you want the police in your business fairly frequently, that's the way to go.
it's ok yoni..no one is trying to take your chl away..

Do you not read the you post?
lol thinking the American Rifleman would advocate stringent gun control
As NoNo said, the chances of these restrictions "making it" here in the US are slim to none.Theoretically, America could adopt a gun ban like Japan's. But that ban would be completely alien to our society, which for over 300 years has had the world's freest, most uncontrolled gun culture. Japan's gun laws are part of an authoritarian philosophy of government that is fundamentally at odds with America's traditions of liberty. Such laws have no place in our
country.
It's a police state full of rape!!!
If only those poor Japanese women could shoot those gropers on the subway ...
cherry picking homicides.
An armed robbery where nobody is killed is still a gun-related crime.
But even focusing on deaths, the US is way up there when it comes to firearm-related death rate to pin it on a technicality.
I'm still fascinated by the idea that having multiple shooters in a darkened and chaotic movie theater would be a preferable scenario that is certain to result in diminished casualties.
why do you hate guns?
Who has called for an end to concealed carry?
Strawman thread.
They can have my gun when they pry... ah, you know the rest.
Perhaps you misunderstood. I never said the article was advocating Japan's gun control but, they did say the measures worked -- at a price to liberty.
No, I read the article and I know they said -- and I agree -- America wouldn't stand for such restrictive gun policies.
Gratefully, I agree.
It's a society full of misogynists that treat women deplorably.
