== Gun control outside the USA ==

In [[Japan]], firearms are illegal. Ironically, [[Japan]] is also the home of [[Tokyo Marui]], the world's largest [[airsoft]] gun manufacturer, which designs [[airsoft]] guns that are made to the same scale and with the same materials as the real counterpart. [[Tokyo Marui]] products are so realistic that they are used in many movies as props, and have resulted in many accidental deaths involving police mistaking them for real guns.

Gun control advocates selectively cite foreign nations to argue that gun control can reduce crime.  For example, they cite [[Singapore]] as having gun control and a lower crime rate than the [[United States]].  But has less than 5 million persons and one of the highest literacy and average wealth in the world.  It lacks all the freedoms in the [[United States]] and strictly imposes harsh physical punishment, such as caning and the [[death penalty]], for crimes that are not punished so harshly in the [[United States]].  In addition, the majority religion in Signapore is [[Buddhism]], which strictly prohibits common crimes.

 

Gun control supporters also cite [[Japan]], where firearms are illegal and crime rates are relatively low. But Japan also lacks many freedoms found in the [[United States]] and has strong cultural deterrents to crime.  Moreover, Japan is home to [[Tokyo Marui]], the world's largest [[airsoft]] gun manufacturer, which designs [[airsoft]] guns that are made to the same scale and with the same materials as the real counterpart and which have been mistaken by police for real guns.
