Tbh with their cultural aversion to firearms in favor of blades, I doubt this claim as well. In any case they're doing just fine killing themselves without them.
I wouldn't blame the guns, I'd blame the murderer. If your entire family was hacked up tomorrow would you blame Cutco? Have fun with that.
You are just talking out your ass about Japan. I will tell you something that actually makes sense. Japan eradicated gun crime.

As always you seem to be stuck on the stupid path bringing up a country that proves regulation is effective.
Japan has one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world. In 2014 there were just six gun deaths, compared to 33,599 in the US
I told you nothing would change your mind, not fucking the truth, and certainly not reality.
Tell that to Shinzo Abe.
Oh but yeah no clue why I would say they culturally prefer blades. Is there any historical context to the "mark of the rulers" bit I wonder?
Oh. Well that's cool.
I am supposed to believe you suddenly care about human life now.
Ok I will bite, let's talk children who have died of gun violence in less than a year in the US.

Don't even pretend you care about Shinzo when you could care less about millions of Americans.
Guess how many gun related child deaths this year in Japan. Fucking zero.
It is like your own pet holocaust we all have to live with just so you can LARP about killing people.
I'm not claiming "America eradicated gun crime" like you are for japan lol. I'm claiming that "just because someone owns guns doesn't mean they'll shoot theirwifechildrenyaddayadda."
No you were claiming that you need a light on your gun so you can tell whether or not they are the person your intending to kill. I am sure they are the bad guy in your fantasy or whatever bullshit goes through your head.
Clearly there are some people who could handle firearms and use them responsibly. You are just not one of them.
If you're questioning "burglar or wife" because "dark?" Yeah, "flashlight" solves that real fast. You don't think a flashlight will help you see whether someone is your wife or a burglar? Your wife look like a lot of burglars or something? Why are you so against gun safety lmao? It's really strange tbh.
No u lol, you're the one advocating against best safety practices for cool alpha internet points, seek help.
'No u lol"
Okay Asinineallthetime.
Lol ad hominem, the mark of someone who "won" an argument.
Thanks for playing dingus.
Sorry you lost, did you want a "I don't give a fuck about human life" participation trophy?
Says the guy who rails against basic safety principles? As if, lmao.
Keep making stuff up, clown shoes are looking good on you. Did you want some white foundation and a wig to complete the look?
You literally said it yourself bud, you don't believe in using flashlights so you don't shoot someone innocent, because you're "real alpha men up in alaska, ooooooo." You literally used patriarchal toxic masculinity to mock basic safety procedures lmao, you have no credibility here.
Okay, here is your clown nose. You look perfect now.
No u lol.
