Oh look at that, the carrier lauded for its Union bonafides is the one quickest to violate property and constitutional rights. Who could have guessed?

Crossposting due to the apparent home-made nature of the weapon involved- which just goes to show how useless gun control is, given how strict it is in Japan.

The shooting of Shinzo Abe, Japan's former PM, has sent shock waves through the country where gun violence is extremely rare.www.cnbc.com
The gun he was shot with appears to have been homemade.

Yup, it is not the guns, it is the society, and thanks to the lost decades and the collapse in the value of the Yen Japan is far from healthy right now.
Japan has had one of the strictest anti-personal weapons laws on the planet, and historically some of the lowest crime rates.
If it can happen there and to a former PM it can happen everywhere.
anti-gun laws only help criminals and madmen.

Gangsters and organized crime in Japan are basically so integrated with the government they might as well be their own branch. The gangs have their own newspapers, run their own charity and relief operations, etc.
Japanese Gangsters meanwhile work to stay out of the public eye. F'rex their standard form of protection racket, called sōkaiya, involves harassing corporation boards and using blackmail and intimidation on them rather than going into a dry cleaners and breaking things until the owner pays up.
Japanese gangs involve themselves in the expected drug and human trafficking but take care to victimize foreigners, which with Japan's notorious tendency towards insular Japan-first attitudes towards race, lets them get by without the public getting angry about it.

Ultimately the crime is all there it's just carefully hushed up and not counted. Getting back on topic, the Yakuza also tend to have guns despite the supposed bans, and do a lot of stabbing and bomb killing in their efforts too, which are heavily underreported to keep Japan's crime statistics looking good.

Japanese police tends to designate murders as suicides or accidents, when they don't have a handy suspect to force into confessing.
There is reason so much of Japanese media is about just how terrible their judicial system is.

I'd say the problem with it is actually the opposite, because CNC machines just aren't specialized that way to nearly ever be able to confirm in court that the machine's sole or primary function is firearms manufacturing. Because it's a CNC machine. The entire point is fine detail programmable use of varied tools.
All it takes is one general hobbyist with a long track record of unrelated stuff "transferring" the machine to a gun-nut, or even moreso the opposite way around, to very quickly display that this is Uninformed Retard Legislation.

There was a mass shooting at Greenwood Park Mall. Three were killed by the gunman.

You're probably not going to hear much of this issue from the MSM. The reason is a a legally armed civilian took out the shooter and saved countless lives, and that would go against the narrative. The little press we see is getting pushback mostly from Twitterati who are nitpicking words and complaining that it "Glamorizes" owning a gun so the shooter being stopped is a Bad Thing.
So much Blasphemy...
The left is trying to meme about it...

It was a gun free zone. But in Indiana a "gun free zone" means "you can have a gun, but if the staff ask you to leave you have to leave".

Which if you are being a responsible ccw holder they will never do, because they won't even know you have it.
