How so? If the murder rate is general is the same (I assume lower?, im having some trouble finding stats) we can assume that they would find another weapon in lieu of a gun. It would be fair to assume that the rate of katana related murders is higher in Japan, this doesnt mean that the presence of Katanas makes Japan inherently more dangerous. And of course all of this is assuming that all the guns in the U.S would magically disapear once a ban was imposed, which given the U.S´s highly organized traddition of organized crime would appear somewhat unlikely.
Thats been studied as well-in many countries, most gun deaths are actually suicides, and when countries around the world banned guns, it was found that other methods were instead used.
