[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlueElectron: [QB] [QUOTE] "In a country where guns are not already largely possessed by civilians of any type, yes. HERE, no." [/QUOTE] Japanese have had successful experience in banning lethal weapons(samuri sword) owned by significant amount of the population in the past when the country under went reform. So, if the Americans want to do it, then it's perfectly possible. [QUOTE] "It could also have been prevented by banning lunatics. Or, if you want a real-world solution, actually ENFORCING the 10,000 existing gun laws, and a little discipline." [/QUOTE] Histroy has shown us again and again, when it come to REGULATIONS to control guns rather then BANNING guns, you guys are unsuccessful for most part. [QUOTE] "An entirely different culture. From what I can gather, unlike our government, the Japanese governmental officials still believe that their primary duty is to their constituents, rather than their party or their 'vision.' On the other hand, I don't know how over-regulated the Japanese citizens are, do you?" [/QUOTE] Did you see "freedom fighters" here outside of Japan fighting for more "freedom" back home? I don't! Are they thoughts so regulated that they can't think for themselves? Then how about all the economy boom and technological boom that require FREE THINKING in the first place? And the part about how politic are different in Japan and USA, man, you just totally burned your own country! [QUOTE] "Folks like you. j/k. Well, for one, the KKK is marching in my town today. They're not SUPPOSED to be armed in any way or violent... but they're the KKK. And if there's five of them and one of me, I'd prefer to have the advantage should I need it. As long as there are people who don't care about the rights of others, and as long as there's a slightest possibility of a 'tyranny of the majority,' a wanna-be king, an Inquisition, etc., there will be a need to defend against them, and thusly a need for arms. PERIOD. [/QUOTE] If we're comparing "developed" and "developing in later stage" countries, then I can tell you that hate crime mostly exist in white society. Hate crime are almost non-existence in Asian populations. So yeah, it's nothing to do with guns, but you guys should really do something about moral standard and education. [QUOTE] "Not enough. Might have prevented or ameliorated a lot of massacres of unarmed civilians by troops and/or rebels. Rwanda. Now let me ask you, how many countries have compulsory military service, in which people are licenced to keep their service weapons (often the much-over-maligned 'assault rifles') at home? I can think of The Swiss and the Israelis off the top of my head." [/QUOTE] We're comparing developed and developing in later stages countries, Rwanda does not come to the picture. As for countries like Israel, people knows the responsibilities of owning the gun, because of the military training they've went through. Frankly, commericals and school education is not enough to justify the right for ordinary citizen to owned guns. [/QB][/QUOTE]
