@James85fletcher @MrAhmednurAli Dom TRY to keep up

THAT's the POINT

It's not clear at all when you look at one individual country like Japan

Although if you're capable of critical thinking you can glean some information even from that if you do your own research

For example even...

@James85fletcher @MrAhmednurAli For example even though Japan has the tightest gun laws they have the highest suicide rates

Which shoots down the gun-ban argument that cutting legal gun ownership will reduce suicides

Nothing.
