Comparing guns to cars is idiotic. Sure, they are both tools, but with completely different purposes.
When a car is used correctly, it will get you from point A to B quickly and safely.
When a gun is used correctly, it will kill whatever it was aimed at.
Funny that Japan is being brought up. Japan has very strict gun control, but as a result it also managed to pretty much eliminate gun related deaths. The Japanese, because of their culture, are more open to having strict gun laws. Their police aren't allowed to carry off duty, and they are heavily trained in martial arts, rarely using guns at all.
America doesn't have a gun problem, it has a social/cultural problem. Too many gun grabbing, apocalyptic preppers. The shooter in CT was raised by one of those people.
