    If only Japan had strict gun control laws, this never would have happened.

    So the guy went John Malkovich, "In the Line of Fire", and built his own weapon.

    Japan boasts a population of more than 127 million people, yet finished 2019 with a gun death rate of only .02 per 100,000 people. One major factor in this success is that Japan has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world. For Japanese citizens to purchase a gun, they must attend an all-day class, pass a written exam, and complete a shooting range test, scoring at least 95% accuracy. Candidates will also receive a mental health evaluation, performed at a hospital, and will have a comprehensive background check done by the government. Only shotguns and rifles can be purchased. The class and exam must be retaken every three years.

    Poor bastards.

    None of the excitement that comes from knowing that untreated schizophrenics are willing and able to unleash a hale of bullets in your direction without warning. Japan sounds boring.
