RIP Shinzo Abe. Arguments that even very strict gun laws, like the ones Japan has, will not keep guns away from bad actors, are fascist and demagogic. Nonetheless, they start in 5, 4, 3, 2 ....

@publickovacs The "gun" he used looked to be made of spare bits and pieces. Unfortunately a basic gun is low tech and can be put together in many home workshops. It might only work once, but in this case, that's all that was needed.

@blur911 I recognize that it makes no difference for Abe, but the point is well taken: no carnage if you have to do bricolage to get a gun

@publickovacs Yes, no help for Abe, but not a massacre like in US with an AR-15 as weapon of choice.
