Look at the dates. The Edo period was from 1603 to 1868. This is the era of weapons prohibition described. The Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods came after.
I guess you could say it's hopeful that a people can gain freedoms after losing them, or never having them at all. On the other hand if you're pessimistic you can look at the time scale and sheer turmoil generally associated with those changes and conclude we're fucked.
I have to say I'm surprised at how profound people think it is to point out that the Americans disarmed the Japanese. The U.S. forces were an occupying army. What the fuck did you expect them to do, hand out Liberator pistols? It's basically the job of a foreign occupation force to screw over the locals.

In the US, sort of. When Katrina hit cops in Florida were going door-to-door in groups and brandishing guns in people's faces to try to intimate them into handing over their guns, even though if they didn't cops couldn't do jack shit. for the record, not a single person fought back or took action against them
then what is the point even owning a gun if you arent going to use it against tyranny? are all americans this spineless? how much of those fags that preach muh gun rights would actually die for them?

Make soap, make glaze for pottery, use a little on your garden pea patch to help them grow better.

They didn't want to start shit over a hurricane and had personal lives to attend to, the only time when gun owners will stand up for the 2nd amendment is for the big one when the government marches down your street and FEMA starts deporting babies to camps which won't happen for the fear of a civil war so they will continue to slow boil. Also since there was no issued order to acquire guns just yell at them, if someone fought back or shot at the cops the media would say gunowners are crazy and the humble cops were just doing their job.

that was the perfect time to use your guns, why would the goverment disarm all its lawful citizens during a natural disaster instead of actually helping out with aid or some shit. whilst pointing guns at them and arresting them so they can search for guns, how can you say there was no order for gun confiscation if the whole reason the national guard was brought in to take the guns?

I'm being a bit Socratic, they thought it wasn't worth it and really don't understand the 2nd. This was also in 2005, shit wasn't that bad yet and the public had no honeypot. If in the next gun grab people still turn in their guns then yes the populace are confirmed cuckolds. On paper it wasn't a mandatory gun confiscation, it was a bunch of SWATs and feds breaking into your house while they ask you to hand in your guns and if you say no they will go away despite them not giving you an option, and the way they were suppose to say no was with a bullet to the face. Say if someone gave them a bullet to the face the media would demonize gun owners, not that I care or that the grabbed knew that.
America is a doomed nation and no amount of guns will save neither the general population nor the government from God's wraith. The United Cuckdom will go down first though

Germans got slaughtered immediately after. Rhineland death camps Japs got firebombed and nuked twice. They were slaughtered in the gulags.
A MUZZLE WHISTLE THAT MAKES A SOUND LIKE SOMEONE SAYING NO

Yes, we are. We are all talk over here. There are always outliers of course, but those outliers get Ruby Ridged. Or just captured in the parking lot unawares and flown to gitmo. The rest of us are all lard. Plenty of shit has dropped, we have every reason to start lighting up feds and friends, but we don't because we are fightless, scared pussies. Its all on mother nature if she wants us to die quietly or not, I suspect she does.
