Well, at least the political discourse and gun violence is happening somewhere other than America for once.

So much for having some of the strongest gun laws in world.

I think it is more common in Japan for guns to either be legitimately stolen from police/defense force or conviently "go missing" from those organizations from time to time.

Even with insane levels of regulation, a country's cops and military will always have guns which means there will always be a pipeline through which those guns end up in the hands of criminals. Just becomes more expensive and difficult to traffick the arms, but it always happens to some extent.

Also despite citizens not really being able to own guns in Japan, there is still Howa and a think a few other companies in Japan that make guns for export. So something might just disappear from a gun factory once in a while with some of the live rounds that are used to test fire the guns for the initial function check and accuracy assessment.

This is just speculation of course but aside from shit being smuggled in from China perhaps I can't really see how else guns end up in crime in Japan.

I just know logic dictates if there is a dearth of something like firearms, people will try to get them from the same government that outlawed them in the first place. If the government and cops hold nearly all the supply, criminals at least know where the guns are...so some wads of cash or some good social engineering will still result in getting a gun as long as a weak link human can be exploited. And money certainly talks.

I say there are 5 possibilities for who did this:
  1. Schizoid NEET, like the one at Kyoto Animation Tragedy
  2. Pacifist who hates the rearming of Japan, especially since Abe is responsible for it
  3. An extreme ultranationalist, yes there are people even more right than Abe and co
  4. People who hates the current inflation and economic downturn in Japan, and blamed them to the LDP
  5. Yakuza

A thought just occurred.

Remember that sperg who burnt down an animation studio because he thought they plagiarized from him?

People losing their shit, and killing people over these things does happen over there.

One of Kazuki Takahashi's fans chimping out over his death, and deciding to send the former prime minster of Japan to the Shadow Realm is a completely real possibility.

In a nutshell japanese gun laws are similar to the UKs gun laws. It's a rarity to hear about gun homicides. You still have smuggled guns usually front the various US military bases, china, or sometimes you'll have a civilian shotgun/hunting rifle get stolen. But guns are A very rare thing to see in Japan. There is a reason the police there still carry .38s/.357 Magnum revolvers like it's the 1970s still in Japan.
