Gun deaths stats from 2014: U.S. 33,599; Japan 6


Some of the gun control laws in Japan:
- You have to attend an all-day class, take a written exam and pass a shooting-range test with a mark of at least 95%.
- mental health and drugs tests
- criminal record is checked and police look for links to extremist groups. They also check your relatives and your work colleagues.
- Handguns are banned. Only shotguns and air rifles are allowed.
- law restricts the number of gun shops. In most of Japan's prefectures there can be no more than three, and you can only buy fresh cartridges by returning the spent cartridges you bought on your last visit.
