Actually, guns *are* legal in Japan. It is legal to own airguns, shotguns and handguns as long as they are for sporting or recreational purposes (no self defense). However, the Japanese police are quite intrusive, and seriously keep track of everyone in Japan, especially gun owners. They count the bullets, et cetera.
The murder rate in Japan is 1.2 in 10,000 persons, as opposed to 8.4 for 10,000 in America. However, it's really not worth it because...
They also end up successfully convicting 99% of all people charged with crimes, and use some pretty dark, dirty tactics to get people to talk. Remember: Japanese police have gotten very tough over the last few years, fighting repeated invasions of giant lizards and robots, as well as the occasional aliens who are only interested in destroying Tokyo, the most important city on Earth to aliens. So don't fuck with them!
