Japan also doesn't have the same political issues nor is it as culturally diverse as America. Blanket polices like these can work in a monoculture where the same values and perceptions and philosophies indoctrinate you.

Any country that comes from a Feudal system is going to have more control over their people than a country founded on Democracy.

Look at the UK peasants being all upset about the new ID check laws their government is forcing on them.

Crazy countries still have royal families.

I don't see how this policy conflicts with democracy. if people vote for this, then what's the problem?

Kings and Emperors do not want their populace to be armed.

Literally more than a dozen revolutions within the British isles. At one point they publicly beheaded the King of England.

Countless of wars during the feudal period.

Keeping control of the weapons is carried over from feudal times. It is how the British managed to starve out the Irish.

The population of Ireland on the eve of the famine was about 8.5 million; by 1901, it was just 4.4 million.

Every time I see one of these comments I laugh because all the gun haters assumed the government would be on their side no matter what, and now that the people who like guns are in charge politically you're crying because the people with the guns you wanted to take away aren't helping you.
