I've posted about this earlier. Don't know if you've read the entire thread. One cannot compare Tokyo or Japan in general to the united states for a myriad of reasons. You're looking at the situation in a vacuum. Think about this beyond stage one. There are cultural factors that play into Japan having very successfully enforced their strict gun laws. If you go back through this thread I outlined them. Japanese citizens are some of the most law abiding I the world. They are raised to highly regard and respect the police and authority in general. Japan is also, by and large, a police state. They have no Fourth Amendment protections as we do. Police can search anyone for anything. No Miranda rights either. We on the other hand celebrate songs such as 'F** Da Police." Here's another thing. Criminals, in general, VOLUNTARILY adhere to the ban on firearms. Never gonna happen here. Another very important thing. Japan has never once in its history created or endured a "gun culture." Ownership of firearms by ruled citizens never was a common practice nor was it ever advocated. Invoking Tokyo as an example only proves a superficial understanding as to how laws and culture work.
