And posting the population helped make that point how?

LOL, it didn't. Sorry, I'm at work and cannot properly arm my self for the assault of differing political ideas.

So you throw conjecture out there to do what? Confuse the shit out of your opponent? Is this an attempt to create time to "arm yourself"?

Here's a tip, next time just don't post anything and properly arm yourself before saying nonsense.

You cant cound Japan in this theory -- sure they have less murders by gun but look at their suicide rate -- it ranks 7th in the world while the US is 38th.---
It just happens that our nut jobs that kill themselves think it's better to take others with them or maybe Japan doesnt count suicide murders as murder who knows....

yey, more conjecture. dafuq?

[supersloth]

you can EASILY count them, the stat is for firearm homicides. just because other people off THEMSELVES doesn't effect the number in the slightest.

seriously, where is craig or kya someone who i might disagree with who can actually raise valid points and not embarrass themselves?

I just have one question...If every teacher in that school had been carrying a gun, how many children would this idiot have been able to kill before being killed himself?

I'd wager a lot fewer than the 20 that were killed.

Folks want to talk about gun bans, but let's face it, gun bans only keep guns out of the hands of those that would use it for defense. Criminals will always be able to get any weapon they want, banned or not.

My heart just breaks for the people involved, I can't even imagine having to deal with this. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.

Um, just out of curiousity, how many kids do you think would have been killed by all the extra bullets flying around?
I mean, just because someone has a gun doesn't mean they hit what they're aiming at. It's not like in the movies.

if your solution to gun violence is old west shootouts in kindergarten classrooms than i would gladly exchange you for one of the kids that was lost today.

In my own opinion, there are a lot more factors to the equation when it comes to gun violence. You can't base things off just population and gun control. Japan is an entirely different place with different people and a different culture. We have no idea how the US would react to laws just like Japan. The situation could turn better or worse.
