The sub heading for that picture with quote marks around the word gun is strange. I know that shop, its in Shibuya up the hill from Tower Records and they do sell guns not “guns”. A shotgun will set the purchaser back about US$4K (provided of course one is licensed to own one).
While we may have less than a handful of gun related deaths here per year, we do still have the occasional mass stabbing and vehicular homicides.
National law on this matter.
Which is what I figured the over the counter easy purchase by @anon67050589 was.
