The Japanese are fucking bug people man, and its only gotten worse since the war. They just can't bare facing the reality that violence exists out there and that ultimately, you have to take responsibility for your own life.
The worst implication of this is that anime screenwriters don't know the intricacies of the usage of firearms -just watch Steins;Gate's fighting sequences. Absolutely dogshit levels of bang bang pew pew fighting.
I think this was a work commissioned by the Metropolitan Police, and thus the autismo. I don't remember seeing any of these ads on national tv anyways (not that I'd remember it, but the police would not do TV ads). Perhaps the novelty of actual guns existing in the public and how most crimes involving firearms involve Gun-Otaku who reactivated deactvated pistols, or the Yakuza. There's very little incentive to be too serious I suppose. Also the posters below are actual posters I've seen, and they all talk of "ERADICATE GUNS" or "STOP GUN CRIME". I suppose they're more serious in nature.
Intredasting. I still think a cube of guns would be cooler. Id have one in my garden.

Why is Japan even bothering with anti-gun ads? Have gun violence ever really been a problem for you outside of the immediate post-war period?

Most cases of illegal guns in Japan involves either the Yakuza shipping in pistols in parts, family members of veterans finding Type 14's that their grandfather's hid away, or gun aficionados somehow getting ahold of a real gun. Most of these cases are reliant on tips from family members or other members of the public acting as informants, and I think that's why Japanese police still promote gun eradication.
Although I'm no fan of the police, I am in awe at the sheer competence they display in being able to enforce every minute detail of a law. People here are way to content too, and they just like down and take it up the ass.

Yakuza fear the oji-san.

Didn't some "journalists" claim that the gun cube is islamophobic? I feel like it has happened but couldn't find anything.
If it hasn't happened, I will make it happen. Where is it located? The site and social media accounts related to it seem dead. Did they trash it or what?
