Sounds like you believe the guns are the core problem. That if only you could somehow take them back that would end the problem. Looks like my point isn't registering with you, either. (Ain't it sweet to have something in common with koan?) So, I will try again point out that conditions exist on a path and that dealing with a situation varies depending on the point on the path. Unlike the US, Japan never had guns. We, OTOH, have a long history of gun ownership and gun use and an associated culture to match. The result of removing the guns from the latter is not the same as never having had them in the first place. One cannot expect a US suddenly absent guns to be Japanish. Nor can one expect the attempted removal of the guns to be received by the populace with the disinterest of the Japanese. So, from where comes the belief that removal of guns stops this problem of a society in random killing is seen as acceptable by an apparently growing number? One wonders what the substitute weapon of choice would turn out to be. Machetes would probably be less threatening, IEDs, more so.
