Bookworm,
when are you going to get your own lead candy dispenser, and heat up? The apocalypse clock is ticking…

I want everyone to take their defense in their own hands, no pun intended.

The Left is very violent, and they say they don’t use guns. Probably because they would cap themselves in the balls and brain if you gave them one, as they swung it around wildly thinking they could use the evil magic totem to cast dark spells upon their ideological foes.

Jose #1:

Before you travel to another state, go talk to your favorite gun shop about travel rules and permissions.

I’ve read that New York has a custom designed gotcha to confiscate your legally transported gun, and they will destroy it before you have a chance to try to get it back, and will levy a heavy fine.

“Rather, the connection is that an armed society is one that sees fewer violent crimes and fewer suicides.”

The point is, the Left doesn’t want a society with fewer violent crimes and fewer suicides.

People should never miss that all critical note. All too often people get fooled and misdirected by Leftist rhetoric into thinking that if they could prove that guns would make society safer, the Left would agree with them. The reason why the Left doesn’t want guns, isn’t because they think guns increase crimes and other negative issues. The reason why they don’t want guns is because their highest echelon leaders believe in the same data as those here at Bookworm Room believes in.

It’s only the cannon fodder that attempts to believe otherwise.

Not only does Japan ban the ownership of handguns and rifles (not shotguns), but they make citizen register any knife with greater-than a 2-inch blade with the police.

Those Japanese laws also apply to swords often times, btw. aka shinken or sharp steel swords.

I would assume there is a connection between increasing crime and increasing Leftist rhetorical power. Which is more apparent now than before.

Tom Gresham is a great advocate for the 2nd Amendment, and also a good TV and radio host. His Guns and Gear program is available on Youtube. I download podcasts of his radio program to play on my daily commute.

Finally, I offer this video from The Onion which illustrates the inability of the mainstream video to place blame where it belongs. You could apply it to pretty much any facet of multiculturalism. The sad thing is some of the comments prove that many people can’t tell it is a send-up.

According to the WHO, In 2011 Japan’s suicide rate was 36/100,000 for males.
http://www.who.int/mental_health/prevention/suicide_rates/en/

The latest number for in that article for US males comes from 2005 when the rate for US males was 18/100,000.

I don’t know the particulars, but I believe it is impossible for ordinary citizens to own firearms in Japan. I can offer 2 anecdotes that relate…

1. A couple years ago there was a news report on the popularity of firearms tourism with Japanese citizens. Many of them travel to Hawaii and go to the public shooting ranges, some of which are located in shopping malls.

2. A fellow veteran who did a tour in Japan told me that US military firearms can only be shipped on international flights. When a service member and his weapons deploy to another country, the firearms must be driven to an international airport for an outbound flight – no internal connecting flights allowed. There is no legal provision for air travel in Japan with weapons.

In contrast, in this country, even now it is legal to take a firearm as hold baggage on any flight.
