So, the shooter is a Marxist, then? Not surprising.

Also prisons in Japan are rough. They are ran with military discipline, so much that sleeping or lying down during the day is prohibited. Beatings for violations are also common.

Simple firearms are VERY easy to make.
Yes Japan has “Gun Control”, except for Yakuza thugs, and of course the very wealthy can get them.
Criminals just ignore laws as shown here.
Japan has a nasty police-state undercurrent that just does not get talked about.
When I was last there displaced farmers kids were still shelling Narita airport with home-made mortars and occasionally setting bombs in the baggage.

The Japanese Red Army is hard core and operates not just in Japan but elsewhere, like Lebanon...
