By opting out of owning guns, you're giving us a power monopoly.

Such has never been denied. But at the same time such is not relevant to the discussion. The united states is not part of the nation of Scandinavia, and the two cultures are not anything similar to one another. It is not so much a matter of comparing apples to oranges, but rather comparing apples to cinder blocks.

 

I know, but it's nowhere near the same type or quality of vehicle regulation.

 

Scandinavia does not need or welcome people from USA.

 

In Japan, suicide rate is high due to the fact that suicide is not viewed as a sin.

 

That doesn't change the fact you can leave.

 

How is it possible for Japan to have a higher suicide rate than the US when it has next to zero guns in private hands?

 

My parents help me with my disability. USA does nothing for me.

 

Which kingdom of Scandinavia are you referring to because my wife and I just came back from one two weeks ago and the people were very welcoming.

 

They use other deadly methods. But they do not view it as a sin.

 

I doubt they would give citizenship for someone seeking welfare.

 

That doesn't change the fact that if you think it is so terrible here you can leave.

 

I prefer to stay with my parents.

 

Thus proving the position that if someone has no choice but to kill himself, the absence of a gun will not keep him from doing so.

 

But most of those who attempt suicide are ambivalent, and frequently not succeed.

 

Then you -choose- to live in what you call terrible society.

 

The suicide rate in Japan says otherwise.

 

I live on forums -- in English and Russian.

 

In Japan, many people who commit suicide do not see it as a sin -- thus they are not ambivalent.

 

Nope. You choose to live in the country you whine about.

 

I live in Cyberspace. It has no borders.

 

That is much different than what you originally claimed.

 

Doesn't change the fact that the suicide rate in Japan negates your position with regard to suicide and guns.

 

You have quickly become a waste of time, and I shall not waste any more of it on you

 

We do not know how high their suicide rate would have been with guns.

 

You, like me, mostly live on forums. Many people have no offline friends. Sad, but true.
