Survey on Gun Laws Discussion Following Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Assassination

Japan has one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world. In fact, in 2021 only 10 shootings were reported in Japan not involving accidents or suicides. These reports led to one death, and four injuries – and eight of them were linked to Japanese criminal networks. In contrast, the United States saw 20,726 gun-related deaths – excluding suicides – in 2021.

Possessing a gun in Japan as part of an organized crime can lead to up to 15 years in prison. Meanwhile, possessing more than one gun is also a crime carrying a prison term of up to 15 years. Finally, discharging a gun in a public space can result in a life sentence.

Despite low levels of gun crime, Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot dead on July 8. Abe was delivering a campaign speech in the city of Nara when a local man in his 40s attacked him. Shinzo Abe died in a hospital due to significant amounts of blood loss later that day.
