There was a news story on just now that started..."Blood bath on the streets of Japan..." Apparently there was a man wieldling a knife who, after crashing his car, went on a stabbing spree.

There have been many articles about using the Japanese model of gun control (i.e. people cannot have guns for self defense and handguns are severely restricted). This story is in direct contrast to the claims of so many that gun control limits mass violence and can 'save lives.'
Anyway, take a look and draw your own conclusions; I know I'm saving the article for the next friend that uses the 'save lives' argument
