Its hard to say... In Singapore, owning firearms is a capital offense
punishable by death and it is probably the safest country in the
world.

Well, it's harldly that safe, but it is a police state.

Their thinking is quite logical because why would you want to
own a gun other than to kill?

Were did you learn logic?

And so they see no point in letting a
person with a gun live. Gun control doesn't always have to be about
giving a free pass to criminals.

Sounds like any other tyranny.

Thanks for showing your true side.

Japan is another extremely safe country where guns are strictly
controlled without the harsh penalties of Singapore. Education,
culture, laws etc all play a role in making a country safe. Would
Japan be just as safe if everybody owned a gun? Its possible but
hardly worth the experiment.

First and second generation Japanese in the the US have about the same
homicide rate as those in Japan.

Fella', you don't need to do experiments - you can use LOGIC (yes, the real
stuff, not the phoney stuff you allude to above) in conceptualization
(actually, you HAVE to use it, otherwise it's a "floating abstraction).
