In article , Gunner says...

The very low rate in Japan is clearly due to cultural and historical
reasons, not the ban on firearm ownership. The Japanese are largely a
homogenous ethnic group with a shared culture. They do not have to
deal with the same ethnic and racial friction which has caused much of
the problems in the U.S.

H'lo??

Who's in there???

I think Michael Moore has hijacked gunner's user
ID and is posting from there.

Where is gunner, and what have you *done* with him!!

LOL.

It almost sounds here like you're saying, the answer to
our problems isn't at the barrel of a weapon, but rather
by reducing ethnic differences and racial friction. That
we should throw down our arms and sing "kum-ba-ya" a
few times and have a big group hug, and this will make
the murder rate go down like it did in japan.

Dang. Maybe those pesky liberals are right after all!
