In Japan guns are not available to the general population to purchase a gun. I live there temporary and I still travel Tokyo and matsudo I have not seen a single gun store. Tough prison doesn't mean much.............. when almost no one poses a gun in Japan.
How Japan Has Virtually Eliminated Shooting Deaths
here is how Japan has stopped most gun crime.....the real gun crime...the kind you don't stop by taking guns from normal, law abiding people.....
Yakuza Wars: Is Japan on Verge of New Wave of Gang Fighting?
According to Suzuki, contemporary mafia wars have become very different from what they used to be in the past after the government in recent years introduced very strict penalties for the use of both firearms and bladed-weapons.
-----
Nowadays, Yakuza gangs need to save their troops as even for a small-scale confrontation several of their members could get arrested. If in the past, killers would get no more than 10 years in prison and upon release they would get a high-ranking position; now they could be facing at least 30 years behind the bars, which means a person's life is essentially over and that changed things dramatically, Suzuki said.
Furthermore, new Japanese anti-gang rules now hold Yakuza bosses responsible for crimes committed by lower-status members of a criminal syndicate, said Atsushi Mizoguchi, another expert on the Japanese crime scene.
"So the bosses will be reluctant to get into a struggle," Mizoguchi told journalists during a press conference last year in Tokyo.
Guns are not available to the general public that is why they have a low crimes and gun deaths. Period. Not because of long jail term.
This is what the expert, cited in your very own link said about Japan's gun control laws....your link...the article from the Atlantic cited this very study, by this very man...and then lied about what his conclusion was.....I gave you the link, and the quote and showed you how the Atlantic journalist lied...
Do you understand that?
Japan: Gun Control and People Control
Japan's low crime rate has almost nothing to do with gun control, and everything to do with people control. Americans, used to their own traditions of freedom, would not accept Japan's system of people controls and gun controls.
I totally agree but the statement you made earlier that Japan has low gun crimes because long jail term. That I totally disagree because almost no one has a gun in Japan and there are no gun store in Japan.
Do you realize that the Yakuza get guns when they want them? That they use them to kill each other during their wars....and they also like to use grenades....are grenades legal or illegal in Japan?
But if guns are available to the general public in Japan........ Then there will be more Japanese get killed by guns.............. Yes No?
