Obama and Feinstein have a lot of help in convincing what I call the weak-minded people in our country that guns = bad. #6 is a good example. The AP quotes a statistic that compares the US and Japan gun deaths. What they don't tell you is that guns in Japan are almost non existent. They don't mention that Japan's culture accepts the police-state they live in, and that many crimes (rape for example) are greatly underreported because of the shame imposed on victims by said culture. Japanese people tolerate police searches without question or resistance, they don't allow immigration and they shun diversity of any kind. While Japan is a model for government control of peoples' lives, it is not a place where free people can excel without government permission. The liberals of this country who treasure tolerance would never live under such a society.
