| Gun Violence Statistics
Yearly, Japan experiences a gun-violence rate less than that experienced in the United States. This becomes evident when you compare gun violence statistics for Japan with gun violence statistics for the United States. Tokyo's handgun murder rate remains over 100 times lower than that of the United States. In fact, someone is murdered in the United States every 30 minutes, an average of over 11,000 people per year. This madness must come to an end. It is not the place of civilized nations in the world today to allow their civilian population unfeathered access to these lethal compact killing machines. In the United States we have pursued a policy of guns that has failed with dire consequences to the very social fabric of society.
