Rare incident of gun violence in Japan

Former Prime Minister Abe being murdered by a firearm was pretty shocking since guns, ammunition and all the means are very difficult to acquire in Japan. Sure, the Japanese people have strong passions but I think they’re incredibly civil with their politics given how nasty matters were in their recent past. I don’t even think Abe was very controversial, well, in the US he wasn’t, unlike say Boorish Johnson (good riddance) or France’s latest right-wing con artist Macron. He seems rather vanilla, dull and stable. I figure the killer is a crazy person. The initial news reports claimed he had to build the gun he used which makes sense. My friend Ayako told me, the Japanese government makes applicants go through a gauntlet of questions before they can apply for training and a license, namely, “Why do you need this?” Of course, the Ammosexuals will make bullshit weak sauce on how the Japanese aren’t “free” and they’re oppressed and then comes their favorite cliché nugget…only the criminals have them. If they’re talking about the Yakuza, absolutely. Organized Crime in every state is well armed and they don’t screw around. What the Ammosexuals often forget (intentionally) is that these gangsters in the Western Countries (and Japan is in this club) also don’t pursue petty crimes with such firepower; aka waste their time threatening the fat-ass Couch Commandoes of their freedumb nor do they want to draw attention. I would like to see an Ammosexual who loves to brandish their AR-15 in a Chipotle try to get tough with a Yakuza or Mafia soldier. They’d probably fold faster than Nathan Silver at a poker table full of pros and male prostitutes.
