This is incorrect. Guns can be possessed in Japan if you have a license. Approximately 200,000 people in Japan are licensed gun owners. I was surprised to see a gun shop just the other day. Guns in Japan are for hunting and sporting purposes, and the former prime minister was an avid shooter (he was a member of Japan's Olympic shooting team).
