"Japan is deemed one of world's safest countries, with highly restrictive gun laws and extremely rare political violence. The fatal shooting of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has shocked Japan, a country with some of the world's toughest gun-control laws."
How come all these assassinations and mass shootings of world leaders happen in gun free zones?
Okay, it was just one, and he was the former prime minister but still, Japan needs to lower its gun control laws as there's a good market for revolvers over there. Don't they play that Mao game?

It's so uncommon there, though, that I can see it surprising them.
I can see Conservative gun-cultists loving this story, though. "See? Even if you outlaw guns (or make them much harder to get) people will make their own, etc, blah, blah.."
As they completely miss the point that it's very rare in Japan.
Absolutely shocking. A major leader of a first world country being assassinated nowadays is shocking enough, but for this to happen in modern Japan of all places...

Abe was a rightwing nationalist doodoo boy, but assassinating him was a bad idea, it's just going to elevate him in people's minds, along with his shitty rightwing beliefs.
