Japan and Germany are smaller countries with more ethnically homogeneous populations. Britain is almost a smaller country. But in all three of the countries you don't have a populace demanding their right to bear arms. I realize your title says that it's about the guns (which I agree with), but the infographic certainly seems slanted to state we have more brutal police.
We do have more brutal police, and that brutality is most often inflicted on minorities. There is no Constitutional right to bear arms, in spite of the Supreme Court's unprincipled decision to the contrary, the same Supreme Court that stole the 2000 elections for the Republicans and gave us Citizens United.
Why do you hate freedom.
Guns are nothing but a public health and safety issue. Easy access to guns represents only the freedom to be a well-armed crackpot here in Gun Nut Nation.
