You can't compare US deaths with Japan's deaths...two different societies. The kids here aren't taught to respect each other or their elders like they are in Japan.

You can't compare either country...they have 127M people compared to our 311M people.
Im sorry. Did this guy accident shoot 27 people or don't intentionally. To equate accidental car death with intentionally homicide seems a bit disingenious.

The effort could be made to sister an track guns much more efficiently but we choose not to. Stop being surprised when people get murdered. Hopefully it want happen to someone e know or close to us. Willing to bet if it does that person will change their POT on gun ownership. Im betting and gun rights folks who just lost a kid are reconsidering.
