i had a life wake up call the other day....stress is getting to bad. all the shootings going around didn't help and now this, you gotta live your best life and do all the things that make you happy. never know when it's going to be your last day, sadly.
Shootings like this or in general very rare in Japan. Very different gun laws than US
Only 3 gun deaths nationwide in 2019

this statistic is freaking mind blowing dude.
Whoa.
We have 2.5x the population of Japan but 4000X the number of gun deaths.
I think we should at least implement Japans first and foremost action that you must take a rigorous class on gun safety. While taking this class a background check and once you’ve passed you get a certification card to purchase firearms and once you purchase that gun is your responsibility. No more selling used guns if you want sell the government will buy. How can the NRA not agree to such as bad guy’s are giving guns a bad name.
The only guns that Japanese citizens can legally buy and use are shotguns and air rifles, and it's not easy to do. ...
First, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you'll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don't forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years. ...
Japanese law, however, starts with the 1958 act stating that "No person shall possess a firearm or firearms or a sword or swords," later adding a few exceptions. In other words, American law is designed to enshrine access to guns, while Japan starts with the premise of forbidding it. The history of that is complicated, but it's worth noting that U.S. gun law has its roots in resistance to British gun restrictions, whereas some academic literature links the Japanese law to the national campaign to forcibly disarm the samurai, which may partially explain why the 1958 mentions firearms and swords side-by-side. ...
Even the police did not carry firearms themselves until, in 1946, the American occupation authority ordered them to. Now, Japanese police receive more hours of training than their American counterparts, are forbidden from carrying off-duty, and invest hours in studying martial arts. ...
The Japanese and American ways of thinking about crime, privacy, and police powers are so different -- and Japan is such a generally peaceful country -- that it's functionally impossible to fully isolate and compare the two gun control regiments. It's not much easier to balance the costs and benefits of Japan's unusual approach, which helps keep its murder rate at the second-lowest in the world, though at the cost of restrictions that [an historian] calls a "police state," a worrying suggestion that it hands the government too much power over its citizens.

Just out of curiosity how do you plan to get the black, brown and white ghetto rats to take your gun classes, you’re a typical west coast left winger, everything you propose targets the legal gun owners, which 99.9 % are not out killing anyone, yet you have no idea how to take the illegal guns out of the criminals hands, because there is no way to do that. Like taking a gun safety class is going to prevent a killer, get real.
How would you feel about not being able to sell a used car, since there were 42,000 deaths in USA last year from car deaths, would you back that as well. Where is your plan to stop selling booze, there were over 12,000 dui deaths last year, are you for a breathalyzer in every car for it to be able to start. How about the 100,000 drug overdoses last year, are you willIng to implement Chinas policy of killing drug dealers to prevent drug deaths, probably not, I am.
We live in a free country and because of that there will always be gun, car, drug, medical, booze, fat people blowing their hearts up from fat and sugar, etc. so you might as well just quit crying and leave the country and move somewhere you can feel safe
You whine every time there is a political thread, saying just win, yet you are the first one to pile on with left wing bs when it’s a political thread you like
it's happening more and more. It's very sad to see. Things are getting worse, not better

Maybe you should look into the numbers before you make a statement like that
1974 7.2 murders by gun per 100,000 in USA
2021 6.2 murders by gun per 100,000 in USA
So it’s not happening more and more, the media would like you to believe that, but it just seems like it’s more and more because we now have the net, social media and 24/7 news constantly talking about it
