Hi King Dan of Great the 1stJust say no?. Now its time?. Government safety thinks that some things are dangerous for us and want to restict and ban things because it maybe kill a few people?.
No, never of heard of a story like that before in the name of safety. Anyhow hope you wearing a mask and got your boosters.
That would seem to be the response from some of our 'government safety patrol'.I think all gas appliances come with safety instructions as the law requires so there are no real excuses when it comes to safety,
Again, that would seem to be the response of our 'government safety patrol'Some idiot without a licence stole a car and crashed it. Everyone should hand in there vehicles in the name of safety.
Well, unfortunately that's not the entire reason. They've also thrown this issue into the 'things we must do to save the planet' files.I think all gas appliances come with safety instructions as the law requires so there are no real excuses when it comes to safety,
Hi WIPIs it a lack of firearms or a cultural thing?
Can't lawfully by meth or fentanyl and yet we have massive problems with them .Hi WIP
Well, when you look at the gamut of nations and their various laws regarding the subject, there's pretty strong evidence that it's the possession of firearms that causes the murder rate that they produce, to fluctuate up or down.

Right, and it's your understanding that they don't have such people in Japan or the UK. We're just a broken societal group and you're ok with accepting that about your nation? ok. Well, I suppose blaming it on culture is about the only way one could possibly deny the truth of what the data reveals.Can't lawfully by meth or fentanyl and yet we have massive problems with them .
That's my point .
For us we have people who won't care and commit a crime .
Right ,they don't have gang culture where by they have slums ,like we do .Right, and it's your understanding that they don't have such people in Japan or the UK.

Personally, I like to think that we are all created by God with pretty much the same physical and moral compasses, but that culture can influence the growing and learning of those under which a particular government rules.

Vehicles are deadly and people need a licence to use one, but they don't try ban them, even when people flip out.Why are Indiscriminate Mass Murders On the Rise in Japan?
There have been several recent instances of murder-suicides, where an individual commits suicide after killing or injuring complete strangers. From the perspective of psychiatry, the author examines why this is happening more often nowadays and what drives offenders to kill.www.nippon.com
Better ban knives ,license them and have yearly psychological checks if you own a gas can or car
I doHi jasonc
You've been there I presume. The yakuza and its affiliated gangs control drug trafficking in Japan, especially methamphetamine. While many Yakuza syndicates, notably the Yamaguchi-gumi, officially forbid their members from engaging in drug trafficking, some other Yakuza syndicates, like the Dojin-kai, are heavily involved in it. Guess you missed them on your walk abouts.
Look, Japan has the same problems that we have as far as a large society living together. However, their gangs don't have the ability to just shoot wildly in the streets because the don't have guns. Yet guns are manufactured all over the world!!! How can that possibly be that a nation is able to keep them out the hands of people within their borders so well?
Personally, I don't chalk these issues up to culture, so much as just wiser people with better governing...in some ways.

I was going to get there about Europe driving laws comingRemember when the cities starting putting up bollards to try stop people fliping out. And these days ram raids are increasing using vehicles to smash into buildings and rob them. . Not to mention all the everyday accidents. How many die each year on the roads?. All vehicle related.
