Secretary of State John Kerry tells CNN that foreign students are "scared" of guns in America.
We had an interesting discussion about why fewer students are coming to, particularly from Japan, to study in the United States, and one of the responses I got from our officials from conversations with parents here is that they're actually scared. They think they're not safe in the United States and so they don't come," Kerry tells CNN.
He noted Japan's restrictive gun laws – which prevent private ownership of nearly all firearms, including handguns – and said the country was safer "where people are not running around with guns."

I used to deal with a lot of Japanese here on business.
One of the first things they wanted to do was go to the strip clubs. Aside from that the next thing they wanted to do was shoot all kinds of guns. Handguns, rifles and above all, machine guns.

sKerry is clueless, as usual.
I have a business acquaintenance that makes a very good living running machine gun outings for Japanese businessmen. When I was in Silicon Valley as a junior member of the management I used to have to "entertain" the Japanese visitors. Invariably they wanted to go to Mitchell Brothers Theater in SF. I had a corporate American Express card that was used for entertainment and BAIL. Often the bail charges exceeded the hefty fun billings.
What?
