Your logic is twisted. Japan has a growing economy , a land of many good paying jobs , and a mountain area where suicides are common.

Sad , baba , that you have no clue !
Japan has been in a deflation for over a decade. Has negative intrest rates too.
Keeps devauluating the YEN as well.
Good luck living there !
said another way if you have a good economy people will be less likely to do self destructive things.
btw japan has had a 20 year depression / recession. they have deflation. look up what steve keen and michael hudson say about it. japans economy is the future for other western economies.

CCW Weekend: The Myth Of The Gun Show Loophole
One of the most often repeated gun myths is that of the gun show loophole. Numerous candidates for political office – on state and national levels – have railed against gun shows, pledged to do away with the loophole and so on. However, as is usually the case, reality is a lot more complicated than the hype.
For the most part, however, the common claim of no background check sales at gun shows is false, for two major reasons.
Firstly, a person that sells guns for a living has to have a license to do so, which is the Federal Firearms License, or FFL. Part and parcel to the FFL, as with any license, is a list of things a person holding the license is prohibited from doing or else the license will be revoked and one of those things is selling a gun to someone without conducting a background check. Once a person obtains an FFL, they cannot sell a gun to anyone, under any circumstances, without conducting one.
Second, who has the most guns to sell? Those would be licensed dealers. What not many people may be aware of is that firearms, like many other goods, are not bought from the manufacturer by one’s local gun store. The guns you see at your local brick and mortar store actually get to the local shop via a distributor.
Some states have adopted universal background checks; California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and both Washingtons (Washington state and Washington D.C.) require any transfer or sale of a firearm to involve a background check.
Furthermore, there are 8 states that require a person to undergo a background check for a permit to purchase a firearm in any capacity. This can be for any firearm or just a handgun. Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey require the background check for a permit to buy any firearm, and Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and North Carolina require the background check and permit for a handgun only.
Maryland and Pennsylvania require a background check only for transfers or sales of any handgun.

This Week’s Gun News: The Debate, Gun Free Waffle House Keeps Getting Robbed, Top 10 List
Waffle House, a restaurant chain in the South, has declared its restaurants to be gun-free zones. How did that work out?
Well, let’s see. One location in Coweta County, Georgia has been robbed twice in less than a month. It’s not the only one. It seems that once again, gun-free zones have not accomplished their stated objective. Instead, as has been the case all too often, the bad guys find them to be safe zones for whatever they have in mind. Fortunately, in this case, only money was taken from those restaurants.

For anyone who's not familiar with this show, it's on Netflix... and this episode won't leave you disappointed no matter what your stance on the gun debate is.

That was pretty funny ... probably won't watch anymore episodes though.
You from Philly?
I have relatives all around there.

Any murders ?
Gun shoot outs ?
Mysteries ?
Sci-fi effects ?
Then it wouldn't hold my limited attention span.

Okay, I take it back...maybe you wouldn't like it.
It's an absurdist show, as if Sartre had a sense of humor.
In either case, the show is funny, in an oblique way, so if you have no sense of humor, you won't like it.
Don't watch it.
