Well, first: I'm all for the right to own guns in the USA, and I do (and have early and often). That is my right, and I intend to always work to keep that right.
That said, one has to admit the murder rate in, say, Japan is much lower than here (less than 1/8 the murder rate in the USA). And Japan doesn't even rank on murders using firearms. To give you an idea of how low that rate is in other countries that do make the ranking, for instance, the murder by firearms rate in the UK is about 1/27th (!) of the rate in the US (while the UK murder rate is about 1/3 of the USA's).
Sad but true.
