And to confound the claims of the NRA, Japanese theatre is notorious for its fantasized violence.

And you know how many Japanese have died of gun shots the past week?

I suspect it is zero.

Not to mention that most of the Western world voraciously consumes “violent” American media (including movies, rap music and computer games) without the same spate of shootings.

Most of the Western world is going through the worst recession in living memory without the same spate of shootings.

Most of the Western world has creaking and barely adequate mental health and social support systems without the same spate of shootings.

Most of the Western world has similar political tensions, ethnic and relgious differences and criminal elements as the United States without the same spate of shootings.

What factor common in large scale shootings is the one thing that makes the US almost unique in the Western World? Think real hard, Wingnuts.
