John Kerry Says Guns Are Deterring Foreign Students From Coming to the US

Says Japan, which has strict gun control, is safer

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.
