Japan is the exception to the rule. guns and swords are illegal.
its mainly because it has an homogeneous population and they have an honor culture there unlike other nations.
they've had a lot of violence with sword fights in the past under the samurai class. I think they had to ban the idea of samurai class at the turn of the century 100 years ago.
you don't hear much about gun violence in japan. its almost nonexistent. something like 1 every 10 years.

You're being more than a little bit disingenuous, because the fake bomber garnered way more coverage than did this incident -- even with actual deaths.

Ordinary citizens in Japan have the right to own Japanese-made blades that are registered with the Nihon Token Kai (Japanese Sword Association). These swords must exhibit historical or cultural significance. A certificate of authenticity and ownership permit are necessary. In Japan, sword smiths are allowed to produce only two swords a month as cultural artifacts. Each sword smith’s work is evaluated and rated by the token kai, and the prices are then adjusted. Unlicensed swords or those made by unlicensed smiths are confiscated, and the owner may be charged with possession of an illegal weapon.
It is legal for Japanese citizens to own family heirloom blades, and registered new blades. Some heirlooms have been passed down in families since the 1500's.
Many such blades are in the hands of US collectors now.

I hope they aren't legal in the US. The Republican Trump supporters have lots of sword swallowers. That could be detrimental for them

And the List goes ON!!!!
After all - can One construct without illegal aliens???

Can we construct without the illegals? Sure for twice the cost. The people who build buildings would slow that pony way down
You know we don't want to ban vaccines. As far as the rest of it Im open. ICE needs to go away, I thought you wanted less government not more

DPST ideology is anti-vaccine- and pro illegals to vote for more welfare and more taxes.
Construction would do just fine - we need to reform our immigration laws to permit those who will contribute lawfully with jobs and pay taxes - other than to Mexico and South America.
DPST House won't permit it.

The House just turned Democrat recently. Were the GOP allowing it before?

The liberals could have pushed laws currently on the books to be enforced. Had they done that, 5 would be alive.
They're all about taking the guns from someone who has committed no crime nor given due process. However, discover a convicted, VIOLENT felon was in possession of a firearm, what was done? Nothing. 5 years later 5 are dead. How well those background checks are working.....
No, it's much easier to strip the rights of innocent Americans, than admit there policies do nothing to make people safer.
Had anyone in that room been armed as well, they could have defended themselves. Maybe the gunfight doesn't last 90 minutes and paramedics could given aid to those wounded before they bled to death.
My guess is that firearms are forbidden at the facility.
He ignored that policy! Bad guys don't follow rules.
Where's my Gomer Pile gif?
Surprise surprise surprise....

A question to OP: I don’t see you terribly upset by this mass shooting. Are you OK with it?
Or is this thread just another way for you to use tragedy to snipe at fellow ECCIE posters?
