You wanna say " Japan Gun Control Laws Didn't Stop Shooting." Likewise, I can say, "Japan Gun Control Laws keep Japanese Gun-Related Crimes at a significant low relative to gun related crimes in the U.S." Both statements work on your flawed reasoning; both are baseless.

It's a good thing Japan has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world to protect her citizens from shootings.

Well, it's a good thing Japan has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world -- otherwise, isolated incidents such as the assasination of Mayor Iccho Ito would be commonplace.

The question so often being asked is whether LEGAL gun ownership CAUSES CRIME. To accurately answer that question you have to take out the anti gun places' murder figures from the total of the US and the crimes from ineligible people possessing firearms. Removing those two factors makes the crime rates darn near nothing.

If the traffic isn't bad (but then again, 495 + 95 is almost always bad) you can go from DC to Richmond, VA in about an hour. As for gun laws, Virginia is known for having some relatively decent gun rights. The homicide rate per capita in Richmond is higher than that of DC.
