Japan Proves Banning Guns Does NOT Stop Violence
By David Jolly - May 30, 2019

Here in the United States, Democrats (which includes the sewagestream media) have been pushing to eliminate the Second Amendment and ban all private gun ownership. Knowing that a gun ban is impossible at this time, they continue to chip away at our Second Amendment rights by enacting a series of gun control laws.

They continue to claim that more gun control laws, up to banning private ownership of guns, will reduce mass violence, especially violence at schools. Over and over they blame guns for violence.

I’ve spoken to a number of anti-gun people who tell me that guns are evil and the cause for all of the violence that we see in America. I typically counter with asking them how guns cause people to do evil things. Do guns possess some kind of Jedi mind control? They usually scoff and comment about ridiculous that sounds, so I counter with asking them to explain how guns cause the violence, but they can’t really answer that question. If given the chance (many end the conversation when they know they can’t win) I get them to admit that it’s people who cause the violence and not guns, but it rarely changes their stance on gun control and gun bans.

Most anti-gun people that eventually become pro-gun, do so after an encounter where a gun was used to save their lives or the lives of their loved ones. I even know of one man who was divorced when his wife learned that he was so anti-gun that he wouldn’t even use a gun to defend her or their two daughters. Upon their divorce, she bought a handgun and spent time at shooting range learning how to safely use her gun.

Over the years, I’ve posted many accounts of people, including children, who have used a handgun, rifle or shotgun to defend themselves and others in their families. There have also been a number of accounts where someone with a legal firearm was able to prevent or stop a mass shooting, thus saving lives, and yet Democrats continue to push to rid America of our firearms.

Some Democrats like to point to countries like Australia who banned most private firearm ownership. They fail to point to the fact that many violent crimes in Australia spiked after the gun ban went into effect. Some areas of Australia didn’t even have a definition of home invasion on their books until after the gun ban, when home invasions across the nation skyrocketed.

Others point to Japan who has a law banning the possession of any firearm, firearms, sword or swords. They also point to the fact that gun violence in Japan is virtually non-existent.

So, if their argument is right in that guns cause the violence, then Japan should be a nice safe nation, especially for school kids, right?

On Tuesday morning, a man in Kawasaki, Japan, was wielding two knives, one in each hand, when he attacked a group of elementary school kids as they were boarding a bus. In the melee, two were killed, including an 11-year-old girl) and around 17 others were injured. When police arrived on the scene the man stabbed himself in the neck and later died from his wound.

Doesn’t this sound like many of the school shooting incidents that have taken place here in the United States? A person attacks innocent students and then takes their own life before they can be arrested.

True, Japan doesn’t have near the violence that we have here in the United States, but then the Japanese culture is very different than the ultra-liberal culture here in the United States. However, incidents of mass violence continue to happen in Japan and Australia, in the absence of guns, proving that’s it’s people and not guns that cause the violence.

It is so outstandingly ridiculous for me to respond but: I disagree.

I challenge you to actually spend about 5 seconds looking for the opposite information instead posting highly unvetted garbage that you post.

I will grant that the Japan numbers I provide are from 2017, but...yea...no: suicide by ginsu is the popular self deanimating technology to kill one's self with.

The Japanese empire was murderous throughout the early 20th century committing unspeakable violence against populations in China Korea And the Pacific islands. When we enforced the unconditional surrender we insisted in the complete disarmament of the nation down to and including the surrender of swords and daggers. The lack of weapons in Japan has led to a very low crime rate and an even lower murder rate. Had that lunatic had access to an AR-15 or AK-47 the death toll would have been scores of people rather than two. And other armed citizens would not have made a deterrence at all as he intended to kill himself anyway.

Well, you know if the NRA would allow the CDC to do their job a few years ago, maybe we would all be better informed.
