This chart is about as useless as teats on a boar hog! The Japanese jump off Mt Fuji among other methods not involving firearms because they can't own them.

I'm confused, puma guy - what does suicide have to do with it?
This chart doesn't deal with suicide - just homicide.
The suicide rate in Japan (with firearms or anything else) is not included in this data.
It is simply a comparison of firearms ownership and homicide.

03Lightningrocks asked me to post this as a thread for discussion.


Interesting negative correlation.
It also puts the lie to the claim "If we just got rid of the guns we wouldn't have any murders."
