Unsurprisingly, all of this nonsense, none of which will do anything to prevent gun-related crime, is based on emotion ignorance and/or dishonesty.
Do you have any suggestions Einstein?
Yeah...I do....if you catch someone committing a crime with a gun, you arrest them and give them 30 years....like they do in Japan. If you catch a felon in possession of an illegal gun....you arrest them and put them in prison for 30 years.
The 30 year sentence has decreased Japan's gun crime...the Yakuza bosses have stated that in the past....doing a couple of years for a gun crime was a reputation builder....the thug coming out of jail would get a career boost...now, a 30 year sentence is a life changer...and not worth it to the boss, who can now be held responsible for the criminal violence of their underlings, and it isn't worth it to the thug....who will be over 50 when they walk out of prison.....
But please.....explain the laws you think will lower the gun crime rate....
Keeping in mind that as more Americans own and actually carry guns, our gun murder and gun crime rate has gone down......
In Japan guns are not available to the general population to purchase a gun. I live there temporary and I still travel Tokyo and matsudo I have not seen a single gun store. Tough prison doesn't mean much.............. when almost no one poses a gun in Japan.
How Japan Has Virtually Eliminated Shooting Deaths
here is how Japan has stopped most gun crime.....the real gun crime...the kind you don't stop by taking guns from normal, law abiding people.....
Yakuza Wars: Is Japan on Verge of New Wave of Gang Fighting?
According to Suzuki, contemporary mafia wars have become very different from what they used to be in the past after the government in recent years introduced very strict penalties for the use of both firearms and bladed-weapons.

Nowadays, Yakuza gangs need to save their troops as even for a small-scale confrontation several of their members could get arrested. If in the past, killers would get no more than 10 years in prison and upon release they would get a high-ranking position; now they could be facing at least 30 years behind the bars, which means a person's life is essentially over and that changed things dramatically, Suzuki said.
Furthermore, new Japanese anti-gang rules now hold Yakuza bosses responsible for crimes committed by lower-status members of a criminal syndicate, said Atsushi Mizoguchi, another expert on the Japanese crime scene.
"So the bosses will be reluctant to get into a struggle," Mizoguchi told journalists during a press conference last year in Tokyo.
Guns are not available to the general public that is why they have a low crimes and gun deaths. Period. Not because of long jail term.
