And now the zombies here are already weaponizing it, THAT WAS A HOMEMADE WEAPON, so how you going to control THAT? Ignoring the thousands of deaths per year in the US from gun violence or the sad fact the number one, NUMBER ONE, killer of children is from guns in the US.

@sonhouse saidJapan gun deaths per year - typically single digits per year.

US gun deaths per year - approaching 40,000 per year.
@sonhouse saidHow does my having said it was a homemade weapon have anything to do with the number of people that are killed in each country? Y’all are unraveling. It is ironic the way you are saying guns kill children, ignoring, your word, the fentanyl that is coming across the borders, as you are all in favor of open borders. Fentanyl kills hundreds of thousands of people in our country. Tell us that you are you in favor of open borders or you are not in favor of open borders, son house. Sure I changed the subject here, but only cause you give me no choice when you say guns are worse than fentanyl

@ron-desantis saidThey're old and aren't making babies. Old people are rarely violent.
Japanese 98.1%, Chinese 0.5%, Korean 0.4%, other 1% (includes Filipino, Vietnamese, and Brazilian) (2016 est.)
Not much room for gang bangers....Maybe they don't like Sushi?
@ron-desantis saidNo, I think I understand the point.
@AThousandYoung
I think you missed the point of why they have low gun deaths/crimes.
They're old and they have draconian gun control laws.

The Yakuza have long been one of the biggest criminal organisations in the world. At the height of their power in the 1960s, the Japanese Yakuza had more than 180,000 members. This Japanese mafia was rich, much feared, and virtually untouchable. But now their numbers, money and power have dwindled. There are only 23,000 Yakuzas left today, and they are older and poorer.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama–Ichi_War
On January 26, 1985, Yamamoto sent a team of hitmen to Takenaka's girlfriend's home in Suita. While waiting for an elevator, Takenaka, underboss Katsumasa Nakayama, and one other member of the family were shot dead, sparking a bloody nationwide conflict that came to be known as the Yama–Ichi War. The enraged Yamaguchi-gumi and its newly chosen acting boss Kazuo Nakanishi and wakagashira Yoshinori Watanabe vowed to wipe out the Ichiwa-kai in revenge.[1]
In the years that followed, 36 gangsters were killed and many more were seriously wounded in an estimated 220 gun battles.[2] At the time, local newspapers carried daily "scorecards" with the latest body counts on both sides.

Tell that to the widow...what a bottom feeder you are.
Did you notice how many mass shootings there were in JAPAN recently?
Still looking for gonads I see....and still no rebuttals in your smarmy posts.
