Why the gun laws in Asian countries are so strict?

2013-06-12 1:40 am
I always want to travel to some place in Asia either Japan, Korean or Taiwan. I read that it is night impossible to privately own a gun in any of those countries. Those are democratic countries so why doesn't the citizens there have the right to bear arms?

Because they don't want to end up like America.

In NZ we have strict gun laws as well, and therefore the risk of getting shot here is low.

FFS, not all of us want to kill each other. Guns are the main reason I wouldn't live in the States.

Because they never had people with a lot of guns, and want to keep it that way.

There are lots of democratic countries that have similar laws, and in fact a few countries that had really liberal gun laws that changed them, like Australia about 15 years ago.

The US, amongst all the "1st world" countries, is the ONLY country where "the right to bear arms" is taken to illogical extremes. Not even in Switzerland, where one gun per household is mandatory, do they have problems with guns.

People there dont like to get shot.

Click the "total (calculated)" column on the chart to sort by death rate:

A little math shows that in the USA you are about 343 times more likely to be killed by a gun than if you live in Hong Kong.

In Taiwan, regular people are not interested in owning firearms; and by law are not allowed to own firearms (with few exception of aboriginal hunters).

Since 195x, our young male have to go to mandatory military service. During the service years, we live with firearms day-in day-out, in hot sun or in storms. Most of us can handle a semi-automatic rifle very well and we know how to shoot straight.

Even the ladies attend trainings of shooting rifles during high school years.

However, the gangs and bank robbers would like to have weapons so that they can do "business". Most of the people call police when there is a problem. And the police seldom need to do gun battles with criminals.

I think our constitutional writers spelled it wrong. I think they were talking about upper arms, no baring them to too much sunlight. THE RITE TO CREEP and BARE ARMS SHALL NOT BE DONE ON BRIDGES.
