If accessibility is the key then we should have a higher suicide rate than Japan. In fact suicides by guns for males should be 70-90% instead of a little more than 50%. The fact is guns do not enable more suicides.
So you
are just ignoring everything I say. Once again:
The key issue in Japan is motive. Particularly the working environment there encourages stress, which encourages suicide. Motive alone is not enough to commit suicide, ability must also be present. However, with a very high motive, trickier means to commit suicide would be attempted. They'd be more willing to go through painful means, for example.
In the US, there is less motive, so we would expect different statistics. However, the accessibility of suicide goes up, so people only slightly inclined in that direction can far more easily access the means to kill themselves. Remove the accessibility in the US, it wouldn't increase the level of motive, it would decrease the level of accessibility.
All you're showing is that there's more then one cause for suicide. No one is denying that. The key is that guns are a factor.
Either way it works and we win. The only way for it to not work is to nuke everything and I highly doubt that's practical for an army to do to its own people and country.
Or just drone strike. Crops need to grow outside, for example. The reason guerilla warfare works in another country is that supply lines are limited; in the US it'd be easy to starve out any supposed insurgents. Tinned food wouldn't last that long when shared between a whole militia.
Their oath is to defend the constitution and country from enemies foriegn and domestic.
"and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States."
Name one NATO military that is not heavily funded by the US. Name one major gun company that doesn't have a robust civilian market.
Gun-wise, which ultimately is the real key:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_firearm_brandsPlenty aren't US based, and further a lot have other products so even if gun sales went down it wouldn't hurt them that much.
Australia had ten massecres since the ban and had a growing gun ownership.
Fewer than before, and of a markedly less dangerous standard, hence not calling them mass shootings.
I think I found what you're looking for.

Also gun sales are rising but crime is falling. Why?

Crime levels are falling globally, irrespective of gun ownership. As for that supposed rebuttal, it's pretty much just a rant, there's no actual substantive criticism of the survey in question beyond "I want it to be wrong," and "Here's a survey already discussed and dealt with."
The criminals sand off the serial numbers. How are you going to trace the gun now?
Aside from the fact you'd need a career criminal for them to sand off numbers, which is far from always the case (so even if that was all that mattered, it's a good advantage), make and model would naturally narrow it down.
Besides, that's about as meaningful as saying "Criminals can get fake license plates/take them off, what's the point of license plates?" a) not all criminals, b) other purposes.
Nope. And yet we have more fatal car accident than all guns deaths combined when talking about ratio.
Because cars have a purpose beyond shooting things.
Those are the only exceptions to "shall not" as listed in the constitution.
Where in the second amendment are these exceptions?
I'm reffering more so to unexpected inspections.
Which isn't relevant here given that there wouldn't be any inspection without due cause as it is.
It is if its linked to a crime.
See what I said in literally the next sentence.
Why it should be illegal to have an unregistered gun?
Why would someone want an unregistered gun? No difference in function, use... The only reason would be to try and hide the fact you have a gun. Given none of those people complain about having, say, a social security number, has to be more than simply being in a database that worries them.
