Goddamn, was Japan always like this in terms of guns?
I miss Imperial Japan.
Anti-Gun Propaganda You Ironically Enjoy
No, it's all thanks to democrator occupation.
Weapons ownership with the exception of ceremonial pieces and things granted by the government's permission has always been extremely rare and restricted as far as I'm aware. Obviously soldiers and guards get different privileges. My impression is that Japanese culture has never had a very fleshed-out concept of 'rights', though, and that social pressure and appearances matter more than a lot of other things, and people who carry weapons are seen as bad people. Even in modern times I've heard it's better to plead guilty to a false accusation than to try to argue it, because the courts just don't care and all resisting will do is get you branded by society as a liar and criminal.
I could be wrong, and Japanon is obviously a better source.
Them fighting words there friend.

They teach actual sniping in schools back in Imperial Japan.
