The BBC is relentlessly anti-American in nearly everything it does. Even in matters unrelated to the US, they strain to try and put an anti-American slant on a story any way they can.
Today in Nagasaki, Japan, the mayor was shot and killed. Guns are outlawed in Japan. The shooter was a member of the crime underworld, had access to guns and did not care for or obey the current laws.
When guns are outlawed, only the criminals will have access to them.
Does this have any meaning or application for the US?
