Learned on CNN yesterday, in Japan owning a gun is nearly impossible, but if you jump through plenty of hoops & testing few do.

If you fire a gun you can serve life in prison.

Even the mob in Japan doesn't use guns. If a member does, the Boss can be held accountable.

Can you IMAGINE, a country, Japan, with as few as TWO gun related deaths a YEAR?

I found this article:

In part by forbidding almost all forms of firearm ownership, Japan has as few as two gun-related homicides a year.
