In Washington, the anti gun extremists are targeting law abiding gun owners with their new bullet tax and their universal background check law....and of course this will do nothing to stop violent crime.
We should actually do something the Japanese do.....they target crime bosses and tax them for the crimes committed by their minions....that is how you stop gun crime in the United States...go after the actual criminals....
Japan's yakuza crime group split spikes gang war fears
Tokyo, Japan - When news broke that Japan's most powerful yakuza crime syndicate - the Kobe-based Yamaguchi-gumi - was about to split into two groups, police departments around the country braced themselves for the gang war that was expected to follow.
There was precedent for such fears.
A similar factional split among the Yamaguchi-gumi in the mid-1980s "led to Japan's bloodiest gang war ever, with more than 300 shootings, 25 dead and a fortune wasted on firearms, legal fees, security, and funerals", wrote David Kaplan and Alec Durbo, authors of Yakuza: Japan's Criminal Underworld, the definitive reference on the subject.
No surprise then that the first related killing came just a week later, on September 6.
A member of the breakaway group, the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi (KYG), was shot dead at a hot springs in Nagano prefecture.
Two days later, the police arrested a senior member of a gang affiliated with the main Yamaguchi-gumi, also based in Kobe, for the killing, the Asahi newspaper reported.
So........Japan is on the verge of a gang war....so what do they do...impose a tax on law abiding Japanese citizens....ban even more guns...pass more gun control...which is what American anti gunners would do...targeting law abiding people instead of criminals?'
No....
The target actual criminals.......
Yet, since then, there has been no further trouble reported and the headlines remain bloodless. One explanation for the standoff is that implementation of tough anti-yakuza laws introduced since the last big gang war has hindered the power of the yakuza to act violently.
Veteran writer Atsushi Mizoguchi, a leading expert on organised crime in Japan, explained that anti-gang ordinances now hold crime bosses responsible for violent acts committed by their members.
Consequently, they face the possibility of prosecution and paying indemnities if these laws are violated by their underlings.
"So the bosses will be reluctant to get into a struggle," said Mizoguchi during a recentpress conference for foreign journalists in Tokyo.
Notice that they are not targeting people who do not commit crimes or the objects used to commit murder...they go at the actual criminals giving the orders to commit murder....
