Common Sense? CBS Urges U.S. Adopt Japan\u2019s Occupation-Era Gun Control<\/a><\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s\u00a0CBS Mornings<\/em>, the network continued their series\u00a0globetrotting for gun control<\/a>\u00a0laws. This time they left Europe and jetted over to Japan where senior foreign correspondent (and\u00a0friend<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0Iranian regime<\/a>) Elizabeth Palmer touted their oppressive system where a citizen could wait a year or longer to get a gun license as authorities prod their lives and a gun shop owners need to get permission to buy ammo. All imposed on them during the post-WWII occupation.<\/p>\n

So much for \u201ccommon sense\u201d gun laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the U.S. gun-control debate intensifies, some Americans are looking overseas for ideas on how to prevent mass shootings.\u00a0Japan has one of the lowest rates of gun violence in the world<\/strong>,\u201d co-host Nate Burleson announced at the top of the segment.\u00a0\u201cSeems like it’s about time we adopt some of those laws,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0he pushed at the end.<\/p>\n

Hanging out with Japanese YouTuber Raphael at a skeet shooting range, Palmer praised the\u00a0\u201cmandatory training\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0citizen had to go through, in addition to a\u00a0\u201cwritten exam, a physical and a mental health evaluation, and even then the police can go and ask your family and friends whether you’ve got any violent tendencies.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It took me a year,” Raphael told her. She also noted, \u201cthe police had even interviewed his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also touted how Japanese citizens were only allowed to buy firearms from three categories and the ridiculous fact that gun store owners needed permission to restock ammunition:<\/p>\n

He’s proud of the buck he shot in northern Japan with a rifle, one of only three types of guns a civilian can own. Air guns are also allowed, he said, as shotguns, but that’s it.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard that there’s very strict control on ammunition, as well. I see you have some rounds here in the cabinet.<\/p>\n

“Yes,” he tells me. “When a gun owner runs out he needs police authorization to buy more.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cDoes he think the law goes too far? Not a bit. Like most Japanese, he supports it as<\/strong>\u00a0the price for almost zero gun violence,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0she boasted.<\/p>\n

Palmer was absolutely giddy to note that the reason Japan had such strict gun control laws was because of the United States. \u201cAnd how’s this for ironic? Japan owes its strict gun laws to America,\u201d she mocked. \u201cWhen the U.S. occupied Japan after World War II it disarmed the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

She even threw in a soundbite from an old documentary where the narrator proclaimed:\u00a0\u201cTo the scrap heap went the guns.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Palmer conveniently omitted the part where the U.S. also banned Japan from having a military.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans shaped the legislation that took firearms out of the hands of civilians, and to this day, that means getting hurt or killed by a gun in Japan is an extremely long shot,\u201d she jabbed as she wrapped up the report.<\/p>\n

Palmer is essentially praising the American confiscation of firearms for there to be a smoother occupation and pacification of a citizenry, the exact opposite of what the founders intended. And given the fact that the Democratic Roosevelt administration put Japanese-American citizens in internment camps, perhaps looking to that era for guidance is ill-advised.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
