What’s Gun Control Like in Japan?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Japan is one of the countries with the strictest gun control in the world. The current law, the "Firearms and Swords Control Law," was enacted in 1965 and prohibits the possession of firearms except for the use within authorized duties.
Even if there is a professional purpose, the procedure for owning a gun is very complicated. The owner is required to register the firearm (with the police), store the gun and ammunition in a separate locked compartment, and notify the police of its location. In addition, they must have their firearms inspected every year and take an exam every three years to update their license.
As a result, the percentage of citizens owning firearms is about 0.3%, the lowest in the world. And firearms account for 3.5% of all homicides in Japan, the second lowest in the world. As of 2018, for example, there were only nine firearm deaths in Japan (Japan’s population: 125 million). In the same year, 39,740 people died from gunshot wounds in the United States.
Gun incidents in Japan are mainly cases of use in gang conflicts and modified handguns by some citizens.
That is why Shinzo Abe's assassination by a gunshot shocked Japan. I really hope that such a tragic incident will never happen again.

Whats the demographics?
@@mobilusinmobili8321 Most gun owners are over the age of 60, and rural. The Japanese government is trying to get more younger people interested, in order to also help deal with the surging boar population in Japan. Hunters die off, and young people aren't picking up the slack.🤷😓
*_RIP Mr. Shinzo Abe_*
im am wondering, how you see medieval Europe Knights or swords
Largely the same restrictions in the UK. Only Northern Ireland has weaker restrictions and Scotland allows more guns and you are only allowed them for three reasons.
1. Sporting related and there are restrictions depending upon the sport.
2. Collecting and in this case they are rendered unusable as a weapon.
3. Work, which often falls into one of the first two categories.
You are also very limited in the guns you can own. Essentially no handguns but one type, a shotgun with only two cartridges and single shot, bolt action rifles are allowed. Air guns also have a lot of rules surrounding them and are considered a firearm, although depending on power and a few other things are exempt from the firearm and shotgun licences.
Its not japan without having to take a exam at some point
Don’t act like almost every other country doesn’t do it.
And a mountain of paperwork for every step of the way
@@Alexander-nc4vy yeah but every 3 years?
@@deltagarchomp6052 no.
@@deltagarchomp6052 it makes sense, though. A lot can change in three years and so a person who is mentally apt to use a gun today, might not be 3 years later.
I went to gunsmithing school with a young man from Japan, apparently there are a few trap shooters in Japan and they pay very very well to have their guns maintained and improved....
idk but I thought trap as the other meaning for a few seconds
@@skyfeelan omg lololol
@@skyfeelan which other meaning ???? there are lots of meanings for TRAP but only ONE for trap SHOOTING
@@robaldridge6505 ngl I was thinking different gangs in trap houses having gun battles in the streets at first.
@@robaldridge6505 I dunno if this is what he meant but there are people called trap who are men cosplaying women who look like women
“…modified handguns by some citizens.” Talk about the Shinzo Abe assassination without actually talking about the Shinzo Abe assassination.
That was a modified shotgun not handgun
@@changedpace9169 it wasn't even modified, the "shotgun" Was a pipe gun homemade
@@lauramonjas3131 do you know what modified means? Turning a pipe into a shotgun is 100% a modified shotgun.
😂
@@changedpace9169 turning commonly used material into firearm is manufacturing.
To modify a firearm it have to be firearm before the procedure, and after. Eh. Shotgun to saw-off, semi to auto, pistol to riffle, adding integrated scope etc.
I love how the first slide/intro background is an airsoft pistol
Maybe because airsoft is huge in Japan
Scary, CO2 gas-powered mayhem, horrifying
@@theRPGmaster not even CO2, that is a green gas mag
The Japanese want firearms so bad, the airsoft obsession is evidence of that.
The Japanese will legit spend big dollars on real firearm accessories imported from other countries for their airsoft kit.

"Modified handguns made by citizens"
... oh boy

@@maxdixonman 😰
@@maxdixonman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah like that modified gun that killed the former prime Minister such a dark day
I'm sorry for all these yakuza who have to take an exam every 3 years to keep their guns. Must be humiliating for a gangster.
They don't, that is for people that _Legally_ own a firearm ;)
That’s funny, assuming criminals follow the law.
The guy said that criminals aren't allowed to own firearms in Japan...
So no Yakuza is ever going to take said exam because: A they aren't allowed, B they're Yakuza... and being identified as a Yakuza means the same thing as death to them and rightly so. So they would never go through legal channels.
@@edgynuke5007 not all yakuza gangs in Japan are about criminal activity, like not all gangs in the US are about criminal activity. They just tend to get in legal trouble more often than normal people
Ironically owning guns legally seems like a very yakuza thing to do
When you’re a Yakuza overlord but still have to go take an exam to keep your tiny pistol
That implies criminals get their guns legally.
No, pistols are illegal to own in Japan. The Yakuza simply get guns the illegal way. The most recent Yakuza shootings were in 2019 and 2024. The guns they used were outlawed in Japan
“Most of Japan’s gun violence occurs as a result of gang conflicts” huh, sounds kinda familiar ngl
Actually... That's a narrative that's been forwarded by the gun lobby for years, but is categorically untrue. Gang-related homicides only account for approximately 13% total homicides annually in the US.
Not in America where gun violence is mixed in with everything to domestic to petty arguments to gangs as well
@@mo_jamma9091 suicide by firearm and accidental firearm deaths are also included into overall percentage of firearm deaths. you’ll be surprised how low firearm homicides are in America compared to how many people holding them.
@@mo_jamma9091 yea.. kinda.... Its mainly gang violence by a massive margine tho.
Yep, remove suicides as the vast majority of gun deaths, like 80% of homicides here are gang related.
Japanese gun control sounds very similar to Australian gun control, except it adds way more steps. Basically everything before when you say "in addition" is true for owning a gun in Australia, and everything after is not.
I’m so glad I live in the southern United States life without a gun is waaaaaaaay to dangerous for me and my family
But Japanese is better, they can still use their Airsoft 😂
@@LastBastion But you don't need a airsoft gun. And if you really want to fire a gun-like toy, just get a gel blaster.
@@amarimochi Well, expect meeting up with some buddies at a airsoft club to shoot at each other.
@@amarimochi Australia is trying to restrict that too.
The last time the Japanese all had lots of guns they made the Geneva Convention into a checklist
Weren’t the Germans helping them out too?
Hahaha thank you for that.
Dark but funny
Nevermind how the average citizen wasn't allowed them
Japan: Geneva Convention? More like geneva Suggestions.
They have one of the lowest firearm homicides, that’s great but now let’s talk about the 41% homicides caused by stabbings 💀
I think I'd prefer getting shot over getting stabbed...
Let’s talk about how that number is still lower than the number of people shot and killed by police alone in the US. Not counting suicides, injuries, accidental injury or death, homicide, or gang violence. Just the police.
@@daltonparker7792 well yeah I agree, the us is larger in population so higher crime rate
But did you know all gun deaths are grouped together in the statistics?
All suicides, and self defense shooting are included with homicides and gang violence? Even accidental discharges.
Gun or knife doesn’t change the mind of someone wanting to kill, just what tool they use. Fun fact: There’s actually a bunch of mass stabbings in a year than mass shootings. Most countries out lawed guns so all countries added up including usa, there’s statistically more stabbing deaths for civil population in the whole world compared to guns.
@@Chefdilf 1. No, gun deaths are not grouped together, that shows that you’ve not actually tried to do any research. 2. Larger population does not change statistics since it’s per capita, not case by case, and yet statistically and net wise, the US still has more violent crimes, of all kinds. And 3. No, there are not more stabbings than mass shootings, unless you compare all stabbings from the entire world compared to just the US’s gun crime rates. Also, no such thing as a mass stabbing, since the comparison is 3-7 people getting stabbed in one incident vs 10-60 people getting shot in a single mass shooting. There are ample sources and verified sites for the statistics and numbers you need, don’t spout stuff like this to try to bring everyone down because they don’t agree.
@@daltonparker7792 in the US alone, all gun deaths are grouped together, this means all suicides are also combined with homicides as far as gun related deaths, and by comparing world statistics, there are more deaths by stabbings than there are shootings in the whole world combined
But in America, there are more shootings than stabbings
Most countries have guns outlawed
And when I’m talking population, I’m speaking of higher density areas will tend to have more crimes than lower density areas
For example, New York has more crime than a Town called Comfort, Texas.
Now I’m curious what the weapon that contributes to the highest homicide percent is
Kitchen knife.
Knife but still lower than US
@@foxisgleestill lower than UK
Karate
So there’s just an clipart for 3 middle aged women holding firearms..?😭
Help why do I have 10k likes 🧍🏻
It's clipart, not an Emoji. Also, it was made because there was an incident when some old Japanese ladies used pellet guns to shoot monkeys that were bothering them.
Onna Bushi in sengoku period use naginata

Like I said in another comment: When there's guns, you find the smart ones.
0.3%!?!?!
Now I know why gangster have these badass hand to hand combats 😲
I’m not surprised the law is called the “Firearms and *Swords* control law”
Meanwhile you're twice as likely to get stabbed in Tokyo than you are to get shot in Chicago. Everyone forget about that guy in Japan a few years ago who walked into an elementary school and stabbed like 20-30 kids? JUST because they have less gun related crime, doesn't mean they have less crime. Japanese women being unable to carry anything to effectively defend themselves is also why 75% of Japanese women report being groped on public transportation too. But hey, if gun control works someone should tell that to Shinzo Abe
@@codym5352 Yo don't forget sexual assault incidences!
@@codym5352 You realise that Tokyo has nearly 5x the population of Chicago right? Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, Tokyo ain’t an exception to that either even though it’s extremely populous and densely packed. I don’t see where your point is…
@@kgapaneseschoolgirlb Cmon don't bring logical thinking into a statement with statistics but then nothing than a blind narrative! You can't!!
@@kgapaneseschoolgirlb We can play the same stats with Gun control in the US as you love to compare the entirety of the US with a smaller population country
Reminds me of an incredible manga, "I Am a Hero." It's a zombie story set in Japan, and the way it handled Japanese citizen's general "I don't want to get involved" leading to the multiplying outbreak was stark and haunting.
The main character actually owns a rifle, and the extensive otaku ramblings of the protagonist on gun safety and gun responsibility were really impressive. I'm not even into zombie apocalypse stuff but I was so enamored and hooked on that one. The atmosphere was suffocatingly real.
Oh yeah, I remember that movie. It ended in a Tunnel fight, right ? The MC was imagining holding a rifle in the streets to kill a zombie but in reality it's just in his imagination and the real rifle was still in his bag.
@@X-SPONGED snap, they made a movie of it? Yeah, that's the one.
ive seen that manga in barnes and nobles before, maybe i should read it one day
I watched the movie.
I laughed when the dude at the beggining was like
"If this was america I would've shot you." Or something like that
Oh yeah i watche the movie is great!
In Japan, you also have to get a license to own a Katana.
Other places: Oh no, he has a gun
Japan: Holy sh**! How did he even have a gun?!
ngl I was anticipating he'd mention the Edo period again
Well back in the edo period, gun crime was surprisingly low. The shogun outlawed any kind of assault rifles and made mandatory digital registration for every firearm... Wait no I'm a little confused
@@ukaszditengou648

I love how the only photo of a “gun” is just a Airsoft gun. You can tell by the bronze circle on the mag aka the gas fill hole.
I love how many people actually caught that. When there's guns, you find the smart ones. Most of us are quite detail-oriented, it seems.
Id like to know more about their sword laws. Im a swordsman and i know that its an iconic weapon developed and passed down in japan
Japanese: Have no guns to kill eachother with
Also Japanse: Fine, I'll do it myself
I mean wirh basically with only 0.3% and all these rules there still gun death.
@@bobberry1463 9 gun deaths in a year is pretty acceptable, considering some other countries get that every few minutes or less.
@@ctromsky5729 Yeah but because of that the amount of mass knife deaths and other forms of death are way higher than normal.
@@thelag152 I mean the homicide rate in Japan in 2020 was .3 for 100,000 people period. They have super low homicide and almost no gun homicide so I don't really get your point.
And sure you can bring up mass stabbing incidents in a lot of countries but mass stabbings don't tend to leave the giant body counts that mass shootings do. One incident in 2019 resulted in 19 deaths, a very uncommon occurrence but still well below what we'd call an average mass shooting in America depending on the year. I mean in 2019 there were 434 mass shootings resulting in 517 deaths and 1,643 injuries, for a total of 2,160 victims. Any way you want to look at it that's outlandish, to call Japan's "knife attack" rate high in comparison to the USA's gun attack rate is just being willfully generous towards the USA
“Hurr durr Pipe go *bang*”
It’s pretty similar in Germany and it works very well
“Works really well” yeah works really well to keep the civilian population completely defenseless and reliant on the government

If I'm not mistaken, civilians were prohibited of owning swords in Japan during the XVI century because of social control.
It was enacted to prevent the population from rebelling
Was it honestly useful to use Roman numerals instead of “16th”? Who TF does this?!

@@kempeioniiko7916 if you're truly has any "respect" towards history you'd suggest to use eastern numerals instead, since the context is about Japan 😉
To usually have a firearm in Japan without having a license you would have to build it from scratch. It’s a very risky loophole that you can’t own a gun but buying the parts to build it is another story
Yes, but very few knows how to make it, and less the materials to make one. That's why the assassination of Japan's prime minister was so shocking.
And getting your hands on bullets another one too.
@@nidohime6233 firearms are actually very simple to construct. Firearms have existed since the 12th century so it's actually very primitive technology, just like the one that killed Shinzo Abe.

Shinzo Abe was murdered by a hardware store shotgun made out of 2 pipes duct taped to a block of wood, but of course he ignores that and blames it all on "modified handguns" funny if Japan doesn't have guns in the first place, how are people modifying them?
@@codym5352 dude you’re taking my little shitpost very seriously, I know the Shinzo Abe gun was fully homemade, I know Japan has very few gun deaths.
It’s also a throwback to the samurai class only carrying swords. The rural class was disarmed to keep them in line. Only the elite carried swords back in the day
Meanwhile at the ex prime minister’s speech…..
Funny how it was a homemade gun, all bc the dude was from the military
@@vestal3430 you don’t need military experience to build a gun, you just need a hardware store. He could have killed the dude with pvc pipe, a potato, and enough Co2

@@theRPGmaster One guy with A two shot pipe is better than having someone mag dump a crowd at a speech like with Gabrielle Giffords. Mass shootings happen on the regular in the U.S but not in Japan.
Most of people are hating the point that he killed him but lot people agree with his background and the reason why he killed him. It’s religious thing
And then there is the suicide rate. From NIH dot gov:
"What is the suicide rate in Japan compared to the US?
Overall, age-adjusted mortality rates from suicide in Japan were almost twice as high for males and almost three times higher for females compared with the United States. The rates for males were about three times higher than females within Japan, and about four times higher within the United States."
About 2/3rds of gun deaths in America are typically suicides.
Yeah but how many people die from a billion other situations that could have been avoided if the victims had been able to own firearms like armed burglaries were a person is stabbed to death and so on this doesn't make things safer at all it just makes the majority of law abiding citizens unable to adequately deffend there selves and more susceptible to crimal violence leading to more brazen criminals
They have a lower violent crime rate than the us
Feel free to compare the Japan and US homicide rates. A hint; one is TWENTY FOUR TIMES WORSE than the other....

Fun fact, the gun stores know if you pass your background check within the hour. The other days are useless and just give local police time to put a hold on it for some reason or gives you time to "cool off"
@@TheOnlyBlackInMeWasWillieBrown Could be a county thing.
Wait... Only 0.3% of citizens have guns but guns make up over 3% of all homicides? That's a higher ownership to homicide rate than the USA.
What about army veteran or ex-army? Do they have to have license too?
Japan is a country where you can find a bullet riddled body in a field, and the police will simply label it as a missing person.
Not a murder victim, a missing person. Cuz that looks better on records.
This makes it extremely hard to get a realistic view of crime in Japan, without living there
I keep telling people this when they bring up japan for gun control arguments , its not even a secret that if a body turns up with 100 bullet holes its not labeled a gun death till somone is convinced... it dont matter of you caught the shooter or not person was still shot to death but it won't be recorded that way less they catch the shooter so like you said gun crime is severely under reported so as to make the illusion they have almost no gun violence which as we've all seen recently is bogus
What’s your source on this. Whats supposed to make me take your word over the original poster.
@@leer6871 user goomba genocide, must be Japan expert
One Piece fans are the most likely to die from gun violence, and the police does not care to report any of them, they only care about the Jojo community, it's very hard to get true numbers.
We can all say some BS without any source, mr Japan expert.
How do you know this?
Gun control all depends on the culture already in place in said country as well for how effective it'll actually be.
and in Japan, it probably has one of the worst effects. ever wondered why sexual assault statistics are so high in Japan? it might have something to do with that fact that a person attempting to force themselves on another is presented with no deterrent, risk, or immediate consequences. you're not going to try to rape someone if you think you might get shot trying. the gun control may not be the root cause of this stuff, but it's absolutely an enabling factor. if the u.s's gun laws were introduced in Japan, I guarantee that rape statistics would plummet
@@Passw0rdYT
And more people will die. No, the reason they attack women is because they know they’ll get away with it. Japan doesn’t pursue cases of sexual violence aggressively. And neither does the United States if we’re real.
@Sam Wallace it actually isn't sexual assault in Japan is well known and common its not just a trope or stereotype it is a fact, for example america may have a gun violence problem or just a violence problem in general but Japan has extreme social ones. SouthKorea is another example while having the most advqnced city in the world (seoul) their extremely greedy and obsessed with money and treat orphans like animals and the mentally ill as well, every country has its problems the "grass is greener over the hill" so to speak.
@@Passw0rdYT What if the rapist shoots first?
@@AlCatSplat then they're not trying to rape you. they're trying to kill you. the thing about that is people who would just up and shoot a person like that are hard to come by. people generally like to have reasons before they do things. even most robbers and muggers wouldn't have the balls to actually pull the trigger if someone isn't cooperating. that would make everything more trouble than it's worth. that being said, what if the rapist shoots first? they won't. they want easy targets. even if they have a gun, you having a gun too puts you at equal odds, which is something scumbags like that don't like. they want someone weaker than them. they want to have the utmost advantage, and most of them don't have the balls to act if they don't.
US: Need 3 Step to buy a gun
Japan: Need 10 Step + A LOT OF PAPERWORK
Nah the USA is more than 3 steps
Select, buy and take home. The rest is illegal hoops they want people to jump through.
It is like that in most countries
You must really want a firearm and be able to show you are able to handle the responsibility of owning one
Unlike the us where every nutcase can buy one you do not let anyone drive a car right? So why should anyone be able to buy weapons freely?
Can we just talk about the fact they also included SWORDS in that law? 🤣
I am german, and part of the (perhaps even traditional) culture of Sports shooting with Airrifles (and pistols), i am playing a game with a japanese man and asked out of curiosity about airguns (as they are rather simple(er) to get in germany) but even airguns are hard to get in japan.
Just like here in malaysia, NOBODY can own a gun without license.. you can get jailed for 7 years and a possible fine up to RM10k wich like 300000 yen
Imagine if america did that

Could be cause the US has many forms of police. Metropolitan Police deal with city’s and don’t have enforcement outside of them, that’s the job of the County sheriffs to be law enforcement in county’s which contain multiple city’s or townships (which cants afford a police department or too little people) if a criminal goes into multiple county’s then state troopers will chase them if they go to multiple states then the FBI will come after them
Rest in peace to Shinzo Abe
Viva o Japão! 🇧🇷🤝🇯🇵
I'm curious to know how they deal with the Gen 2 Coilguns . You can fire Allen Key and drill bits
Sounds alot like the UK in alot of regards, excluding Northern Ireland of course.
Well its not like most firearms in Nothern Ireland are obtained legally
and the UK now has more gun crime then when they had no gun control
* My Little Armalite intensifies *
This Hits different after what happened to Shinzo Abe. RIP.
even in max security prisons inmates build guns and gunpowder and ammo from what is available.
How does it hit different? That assassin's handmade gun was one of the years gun deaths that's equal to daily gun deaths in the U.S.
@@iluvwhtchix but it was used to assassinate a former country leader. When exactly was the last time a US leader was assassinated either in or out of office?
@@iluvwhtchix we're talking about a former prime minister, dude. when was the last time that a US leader was game-ended by a gun?
@@iluvwhtchix gun death statistics are blown very askew by including suicides. Also trend shows that the stricter the gun control, the more firearm homicides in the area, whereas the states with the least amount of gun control have the lowest firearm homocides.
Austria has a pretty high percentage of firearms, but doesnt have a crime rate at the same high rate.
The Swiss have even more guns and also less crime with them.
The reason are registration, inspections and evaluation of the gun owner
LMFAO THE AR15 GRANDMAS 🤣🤣
I laughed at the grandmothers holding rifles diagram
Well this didn't age well,
RIP Mr.Shinzo Abe🙏
Anyone who wants to kill, and be bad is going to get a gun.. It's going to get crazier, as 3D printed guns get faster and easier to make.
Even with that, gun deaths in Japan is rare
@@stevenliang3213 there's only 1 person that dies from gunshot in Japan once a year
@@npcc2009 oh, really?
I think their complacency around this cost Shinzo Abe his life. Even his security didn’t recognize the gunshot and danger
wonder why it works in japan but cant work here in america
Because Japan doesn't have a massive gun culture. Gun ownership was a right at the very start of the country, and with not much time passing since, it's guns are still extremely prevalent. People take much pride in their guns, so imagine how bad it would be to take them away. It'd end up worse than prohibition
Because we refuse to do it in America.
As you mention that there is a „Firearms and sword control law“, what about the swords?
Is there an easy distinction between sharp swords which are made to be weapons and swords which are made for being used in sports etc.? This seems to be difficult to me as I would assume that some swords made for peaceful use may still be dangerous when sharpened, even if these are far away from the quality of a „real“ weapon.
Iirc, he mentioned that the license has to be constantly updated, and there are rules for ceremonial and sporting swords. If you go out in public, you'd probably stick out like a sore thumb
What is a real weapon? And what denotes it from another tool being used in a lethal manner? Also is it still a weapon if the user never had the capacity to use it in a harmful way and only ever used it as another tool for a different purpose, without greatly modifying its primary purpose like a knife and cutting.
@@ezramiller8936 guns and most swords don't have used other than killing someone. Something like a knife does
@@canned3880 millions o swords are used for decoration. I'm looking at several now. Civilized people can refrain from murdering others.
@@HorusHerotic in Japan at least there are regulations on what decorational swords can be like, and my state has similar laws that limit their sharpness or require them to created blunt in the first place. If you just want guns as decoration then put up some mock/air soft weapons
Meanwhile in America: 11 firearms per 10 citizens
Those a rookie numbers, we need to bump them up.
The more the merrier! …really
Do you guys have shooting ranges?
What about the yakuza? Where are gun shops in Japan?
They import them illegally
My brother was wondering about that yesterday, thanks!
The major thing that keeps me, a collector, from moving… well, that and not winning the lotto or speaking the language. :-D.
@@Svea_LifeGuards where I’m at 16 is considered just getting started. If you caught Mosinitis as you start collecting (91/30s were $65 each circa 2008) and try to get a few of the various manufacturers/models of Mosin you’re already at several- even if you limited yourself to a 91, 91/30, and t53 that’s 3... Go back to the 1700s with a flintlock or two and a couple percussions and interesting conversions from the 1800s, then some other early breech loading types, a few types of shotguns (double barrel, pump, semi-auto)… it adds up real fast and you’re probably at 15-16 total and barely into the 1900s, much less pistols like S&W revolvers or 1911s. Other than the Mosins, that’s not even scratching the surface of WWI stuff… Mausers, Enfields, Springfields. Add in a couple modern things like ARs and Glocks and a .22 pistol and rifle for teaching/plinking and you’re easily past 20 without trying. Can’t imagine needing to justify to anyone.
That said… I’d love to run across an early Husqvarna someday just so I can have a gun from the same company as my mower, chainsaw, and weed-eater. :-)
@@Svea_LifeGuards last ive heard, sweden isnt a hostile country that has citizens running around with firearms just because their favourite celebrity said that "their freedom is threaten". so i'd say let them keep their guns.
Exactly the same than Spain.
But adding you need warn where and how and when you gonna use it, wich ammunition and when you buy ammo the same papers.
And also you need a hunting license and a higher grade gun license to get access to shotguns, rifles or any other weapon outside a pistol.
Sounds like more countries should take note
More murder happens per capita in England with knives than in America with guns. I’d rather not be carved up by a homeless person with no way to defend myself or my family. Sexual assault must be really easy in unarmed societies
More countries should take note to make sure they're doing the opposite as Japan, yes.
should take note about not following japan?
sounds about right

Ever heard of Luty? The British guy?
Ever heard of Jstark? The German guy?
Up to the every year inspection is almost the same in Germany the fine difference is you can own a gun sword etc. But with an special license for example the hunting license with that you are allowed to have (I think it was) up to three hunting rifles and a gun. the inspection is pretty strict but on random times in the year it can happen that you get inspected 5 times in a year or just 2 times I like the rules back here in Germany because I want to make my hunting license and I think it's easy to follow the instructions (unlike a somewhat distant neighbor)
Similar on the netherlands owning a firearm is a responsibility and someone should show they are capable of handling it
This law needs to be in the us + during examining guns you need to check mental health and update and take an exam here but no wonder why is has so much school shootings
Because these laws can never POSSIBLY be abused by government as trustworthy as ours.
Huh... I probably own more guns than you own swords.
Ohhh yeah,Yakuza do exist I forgot that one.
And that is so much better than the US
Is this why you have a katana on your belt and not a holster
I love Japan, but I like being able to defend my family more
I have Japanese neighbors that moved to the US here and they love their guns and freedom. They never had to fear for their life here unlike the media portrays the US as.
Uh huh, the ‘media’ is the one portraying us like that.
@@djmonkeycock Yes? Do you not see shootings all over the news demonizing guns? When they don't cover anything when a law abiding citizen uses the gun for self defense?
@@djmonkeycock correct.
why would you trust the media in the first place?
From what I've heard even airsoft guns can't be metal
