Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe Shot

Breaking story, it looks like an assassination attempt which may have succeeded:

Yes, another case of strict gun laws failing.

It appears to me the attacker used 2 plumbing pipes with caps taped to a piece of plywood. Likely improvised ammunition as well, probably muzzle loading.

Everything I've read suggests Abe has no vitals.

Not easy to watch… evil takes many forms and vigilance and preparedness sometimes just aren’t enough to defeat it.

And other times, a “gun-free” society leads to complacency. The shooter faced no resistance whatsoever until after firing his makeshift weapon.

Take heed, gun control advocates.

Gun free zones are very dangerous and often deadly.

Japanese media reports that Abe has died.

Wow got him with both improvised barrels. I did notice everyone was being safe with their masks on

That's an asian cultural thing. When we were in HK in '19 it was no different then before the "pandemic".

To be fair, isn't the entirety of Japan a GFZ? With under 900 murders in a country of a population of 125 million, they are not the same as our GFZ.

as they shouldn't be. They do no have the same culture. There are more differences between us than similarities

In Hawaii pre scamdemic. Almost all the Japanese tourists at Pearl Harbor had masks and long sleeves. I said to the better half they may be sensitive to radiation.

Other than that, how was the play Mrs....

Wait....

Different Abe.

 

[bobzilla]

I bet he bought the stuff to make the gun from Indiana.

Just the routine 21st-century AP slant added to the Kyodo News story, I expect.

I just learned some things from this discussion on the assassination. East Asia isn't looking too good.

Wonder if there won't be some suicides on the security team? Isn't that the honorable thing to do in that society?

Video of the assassination is being taken down from a lot of websites, but still available here for the moment:

Wow. A double barrel on an otherwise standard wmd from the hardware store. This event further proves my theory that GFZ don't exist.

Now they'll need to serialize all pipe.
And wood.
