First, you seem to fully agree that murder using gun is a bigger problem than manga, so why the word 'lots' cause you a so big problem ? Just compare to the numbers of deaths caused by manga... Now compare the legal risk of owning a gun vs owning a manga. Oups! It's not a statistic, it's a very simple basic comparison.
Second, while your claims are probably correct (I haven't checked) and I never disputed them, you seem to assume that I am against them. It's not the case, but my point of view is from an other perspective: in the manga affair, the judge base his sentence on the perception that seeing image of a fantasy in a manga is dangerous because it's an illustration of something criminal in the real life and that this might confuse the reader. What's insane it that in comparison, all real guns and all illustration of murders by guns in a massive amount of media don't seem to be a problem *COMPARED* to the manga fantasy. Don't get me wrong: I doubt there is even a massacre that have been caused by a manga fantasy, so why owning a manga fantasy could be more criminal than owing a gun ?
I propose that you read me with clam and only get the real part I have wrote, not what you don't know about me and that you like to think that you know. Acting only based on real fact is best solution for everyone.
