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.

It was a shotgun and I'm pretty sure there's some limited amount of legality for hunting guns, so it is possible (but unlikely) it's a legal gun. I think.

This is the shooter being tackled, I so se anything in his hands so I'm going to assume that box thing at his feet is the weapon. Is this some kind of slam shotgun?

Looks like a double barrel slam pipe shotgun to me. Two pipes attached to a 2x4 with black tape? 1657251152721.png

edit:
didn't see a second set of barrels if it was a slam shotgun from pictures and video later in the thread but it's definitely homemade. Maybe a homemade black powder double barrel judging by all the smoke in the footage.

Meh, good riddance tbh. Now I wonder how the die-hard nationalist sperg faction of the LDP would operate when their god emperor dies.
