what prospects for gun ownership and shooting are there in Japan?
None. That's why realistic AirSoft guns are so damn popular. A reproduction is the best you can hope for.
Virtually none except for hunters, and that is apparently extremely restricted.
Take this to /k/.
Citizens can own rifles and shotguns for hunting purposes. From what I've read though that kind of thing is incredibly highly controlled and regulated.

I think you can own a rifle after ten years of having a hunting license and using a shotgun.

I heard policemen must report every single bullet they fire.

Why are 'murricans so retarded?

We should get rid of niggers before we get rid of guns. Japan also has a lot of crime that isn't reported because people find it shameful.
>>150371417
Effectively none.
>>150371417
Quite little.
You can get a license for some rifles and shotguns for hunting and skeet shooting, I've heard some limited pistol target shooting is allowed in the sense that the gun is owned or kept at a police station and the shooting takes place at their range, but I don't know for sure how true that part is.
Their laws are pretty shit.

Crime in America is at it's lowest it's been since 50 years, the decline of crime is progressing still and shows no sign of stopping, yet there's more guns in America than there's ever been, and defensive gun use is incredibly efficient for making yourself not a victim.
Meanwhile in Japan, cops are even more useless than the average American big city donut-eater, any killing which can't be solved will be ruled as a suicide as to keep up their precious statistics, their murder rates are quite a lot higher than what they let on.

I know it's typical /pol/ rhetoric to say "lolniggers" but there's even more to it than that.
Select neighborhoods and areas in large metropols account for significant amounts of the gang violence in America, specifically concentrated areas which are gang turfs, where there's a ludicrous amount of money at stake on black market drugs, I'm not even kidding when I'm saying it can be like night and day between two neighborhoods next to each other, despite having similar rates of black residents.
The illegal drug trade is the biggest fuel for violence in America, taking away their guns will do literally nothing to change the violence that happens.

Appalachia.
Case disproven, nigger.

Elaborate.
