(In Japan) I wasnt scanning every grocery store for its nearest exits as I shopped with my toddler son and newborn daughter, or standing on the fringes of a crowd at concerts, or wearing sneakers to the local playground solely so I could more easily grab my children and run for all of our lives if I had to. We were fully enjoying life again, and it wasnt until the weight was gone that I realized Id been nearly crushed beneath it.
After two years enjoying the safety and serenity of Japan, we are now on the cusp of a move back to America. At a time when we should be looking forward to reconnecting with family and friends and introducing our new daughter to her country, instead, Im dreading returning to a place where seven kids are shot and killed every day.

You nailed it. Also, they do not have a moslem immigration problem.
Great idea, move them to Chicago, the laws of Chicago show us how gun laws are so beneficial to stop violence.
Let’s add our immigration and racial problems to Japan and just see how “safe” Japan is “without guns”
Oh and put Japan on a landed border with say, N Korea
I am not willing to trade an additional 6,800 rapes, assaults, home invasions, kidnappings that are daily prevented through the defensive use of a gun ... in order to prevent 93 deaths (62 of which are suicides) per day.
Yeah, ‘cause men never express these kind of dumb opinions. Try reading the Guardian comments and educate yourself.
or Pier 39 in SF or anywhere in SE DC. You will be fine.
Stay in Japan. We will survive without your return. That’s a promise.
in footage taken after the tsunami in Fukushima. You actually see people politely lined up to receive rations and not the usual mob that we see in this country and in other countries. The Japanese are very polite, painfully so. And they respect each other because they are all brothers and sisters as being Japanese. However in the past there have been times when Japanese went to war and they are also great warriors without regards to their enemy except to overwhelm and destroy the enemy as completely as they possibly can. I respect the Japanese because they respect certain values however I don’t know if I could comfortably live with them or among them. I have spent a total of 18 months in Japan off and on and it’s a wonderful place to visit, but I do not know if I would be welcomed nor do I know if I would feel that comfortable in a semi-permanent situation in their country.
Then don’t. Not hard to figure out dumbass.
The problem isnt guns. Its people who arent capable of governing themselves. And in the US, they are scattered about everywhere, we dont have a homogeneous culture.
No, they aren't scattered everywhere. The people who can't govern themselves are concentrated in the urban areas of Anerica's large cities.
Stay were you are and don’t come back. We don’t want you.
One thing about Japan that is different form America is that it FULL of Japanese.
Then don't come back. We've got too many of your ilk here already.
Irrational fear is not typical male attribute.
One thing I noticed while living on Japan is that it is full of Japanese.
Was this written before or after the Fukoshima incident?
I had to look up fallopians at urban dictionary. It’s a new word to me!
