Tbh with their cultural aversion to firearms in favor of blades, I doubt this claim as well. In any case they’re doing just fine killing themselves without them.
I wouldn’t blame the guns, I’d blame the murderer. If your entire family was hacked up tomorrow would you blame Cutco? Have fun with that.
You are just talking out your ass about Japan. I will tell you something that actually makes sense. Japan eradicated gun crime.

As always you seem to be stuck on the stupid path bringing up a country that proves regulation is effective.
Japan has one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world. In 2014 there were just six gun deaths, compared to 33,599 in the US
I told you nothing would change your mind, not fucking the truth, and certainly not reality.
Tell that to Shinzo Abe.
Japan as a whole is largely uninterested in firearms: Graduating police officers most often choose judo and kendo over firearms training. The country’s culture doesn’t have a history of widespread gun ownership by citizens. Instead, historic influence have made weapons to be seen as “the mark of the rulers, not the ruled”.[3]
Oh but yeah no clue why I would say they culturally prefer blades. Is there any historical context to the “mark of the rulers” bit I wonder?
Gun and sword control started in Japan as early as the late 16th century under Toyotomi Hideyoshi in order to disarm peasants and control uprisings.
Oh. Well that’s cool.
I am supposed to believe you suddenly care about human life now.
Ok I will bite, let’s talk children who have died of gun violence in less than a year in the US.

"I realize you’re gaveling me out.
"There are over 600 names on this list—I
Don’t even pretend you care about Shinzo when you could care less about millions of Americans.
Guess how many gun related child deaths this year in Japan. Fucking zero.
It is like your own pet holocaust we all have to live with just so you can LARP about killing people.
