Japan suicides near record high in 2007 – Yahoo! News via kwout
Surely this is not correct! How come Japanese kill themselves so often when there are virtually no firearms in private hands? The gun control cabal would have us believe guns are the cause of violence. Could they be wrong? Ask the Japanese.

Maybe you should check how many other victims people who kill themselves take with them ? And then compare to USA and rethink your stupid post.

your question cannot be answered because it is the wrong question. i have done extensive research on the subject and have had endless discussions about gun control and have never heard anyone say guns cause violence. sorry, you lost with a red herring before you even posted your question. you might consider, however, how many people would have been killed in the recent attacks on crowds in japan by men wielding knives if they had possessed guns instead.

How about “How many of these attacks would have been cut short by an armed citizen intervening?”
