RE: No guns = No violence?

in ReggaeJAHM3 years ago

I'm totally against guns, so I'm happy with Japan's laws.

That said, I've heard numerous times over the years that Japan's gun laws are so strict that their hunters are dwendling and wildlife that once was controlled by hunters is becoming a problems, for example wild boars in some places.

So I guess that's a concern. But still, I'm happier without guns around (and I agree with you: given some of the crazies around here, I don't want to think of what it would look like with easily accessable guns)

Yes! I too have heard the same as they do phycological checks as well as ongoing training and it takes YEARS. I used to see a shot gun shop for hunting here a few years ago in Gunma but I no longer see it, I guess business wasn't good.

Indeed, just the fact that no guns are around puts your mind at ease in public when you really think about it. Even going to clubs here ( when I used to do that) is an entirely different experience.

What really amazes me is the suicide rate, so even with out the guns, there is a silent, invisible killer. Every place has its problems.
