Japanese C/J system is much much harsher than most of of the rest of the world. IIRC for the documentary I watched years ago, most inmates in japan are in something like a 6x6 box and are held in solitary 99.99% of the time. Not to mention the difference in cultures, Apples to encyclopedia Britannica much
That and look at the violent crime and gun crime stats in the UK, Australia and other palces that have recently banned or severely restricted firearms.

Originally posted by cale View PostI read about this elsewhere and they had claimed that the shooter was using and automatic weapon, apologies for being misinformed.
Tight regulations on certain weapons do prevent large numbers of crimes being perpetrated with those weapons, there's a reason these all out massacres are rare in parts of the world where it is not so easy to get your hands on arsenals as compared to the US.
Did I just read in Toronto just 3 days ago was a mass shooting. Aren't your gun laws more strict than here in America?

Of course you'd reference one particular incident. Toronto is often listed as the safest big city in North america, shit happens everywhere on occasion.
My point is the ease of access to all kinds of guns in America is likely a major contributing factor to the amount of violence resulting in death, it's hard to kill 16 people if all you have is a knife. If all those innocent lives could've been spared would you give up your weapons? Assuming all the risk (which is a byproduct of the amount of guns IMO) would you give up your guns?
