USA gun related deaths = about 12000 deaths by year ---gun ownership is legal
you can't believe how many dumb ppl have easily access to guns
Update:Melvin: its really ridicolous that you have the audicity to blame black people, when a white shooter just killed 20 elementary children just yesterday, and last week, another white shooter went into the mall, and kill three people, and the week before that, another white shooter went into the sikh temple and killed dozens.

It was not the weapon. It was the human heart that picked up the blade and picked up the gun. Now, what drives men in Red China to picked up blades? What drives men to walk into a gun free zone and shoot innocents? The same thing.
A lack of law to control ones own heart. A failure to recognize a higher power than ones own opinions. A failure to be a just and moral person. The Bible and the word of God an anathema in many people's lives.
You build the character of a person to be Good? So that he controls his heart. You end the tragedies. You ban the tool? It does not cure anything. The heart is still darkened and WILL find an outlet.
In Japan they have found a cultural solution to the Evil in a human heart. Here? Liberalism has torn all solutions down. We are savages compared to the Japanese. So, your statistic is meaningless without proper context of culture.
The point isn't the black people, it's that we are a veritable melting pot of different cultures. Japan doesn't have that mixture of different cultures, which can lead to more confrontations. However, while they have fewer gun related deaths, the fact that gun ownership is illegal, yet 600 people die from them every year proves a simple point...bad people can get guns if they want them. However, you need to look at the overall statistics. Japan has a far higher incident rate of rape and other violent crimes than the USA, because its subjects (free people own firearms, if you can't own firearms, you aren't a citizen, you are a subject) are unarmed and cannot defend themselves.
a million) Kurt attitude 2) strategies-blowing Moolah, if in her top. presently i'd say Manami Toyota. 3) Jushin Liger for beneficial, he's so superb. 4) LOD, hands down, maximum suitable freakin tag team of all time. 5) Chris Benoit, maximum suitable technical wrestler ever.
a better comparison would be the national culture of each nation.
Japanese Tsunami, people politely helping each other, and patiently enduring.
US Hurricane Sandy, fights at gas stations. looting, etc.
This is not a particularly relevant comparison since the population of Japan is only about 40% of the US and culture is different and much less diverse.
And yet Japan's tough gun laws do NOTHING to stop the Yakuza for getting all the guns they want.
That's why the suicide rate in Japan is very high.
