Japan has 9 cases of gun deaths, the US had 35,000. You’d almost think it has an effect.


You are including suicides in the US gun deaths which makes it a bit of weird comparison.


No? I’m including suicides for Japan as well.


I wasn't clear. What I mean, is a huge number of the gun deaths in the US are with guns. Suicide in Japan is usually not with guns.
