    Sad watching people like you type out a bunch of nonsense as though it’s true.

    I guess that’s why people like you are so ‘up in arms’ about gun control; you’re living in a fantasy world where you think that criminals don’t have guns in other developed nations.

      The guy who killed Shinzo Abe in Japan literally had to build the gun and was only able to do so efficiently because he was an ex-member of the JMSDF.

      That’s how hard it is to get a gun in Japan. And surprise! They have one of the lowest homicide rates in the world.

        Nice cherrypicking.

        Thanks for supporting my point about living in a fantasy world, lol.

        And surprise! They have one of the lowest homicide rates in the world.

        It must be the guns, right? Not their culture? What about nations that ban guns but have higher homicide rates than Japan or even the U.S.?

          The only countries that fit this definition outside Central/South America and Sub-Saharian Africa are Russia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Palau and Kiribati.

          Literally all of Europe and all of Asia with a functioning democracy have a lower homicide rate than the US. I wouldn’t really call that “cherrypicking”.

          Is that what you’re comparing to? You think the US police would be as bad at enforcing a gun control law as the one in Kiribati?

            So… what you’re telling me is it’s not just the guns. It’s their culture.

            Interesting. I guess we can agree that banning guns doesn’t actually reduce homicide rates if the nation has people who want to kill each other.

            I wouldn’t really call that “cherrypicking”.

            Lol, so ignoring everything that goes against your argument isn’t cherrypicking? Dang. Stay in school, son.
