Japanese man arrested after 33 real and imitation guns found in his home

On September 2, according to Japan's Fuji News Network, the Japanese police announced on the same day that they had arrested a 59-year-old man living in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The police found five real guns with lethality and 28 imitation guns in his home. The man is suspected of violating Japan's sword and gun control law.

It is reported that the police discovered the relevant illegal situation through online inspections. When searching the man's residence, in addition to the above-mentioned real and imitation guns, if legal model guns and shotguns are included, the police found more than 100 gun-like items from his home.

In his confession, the man involved said that he "has no intention of harming others or launching a terrorist attack. (Collecting guns) is because of interest." However, privately holding such a large number of guns, whether real or imitation guns, poses a serious threat to social security.

Japan has strict legal regulations on gun management, but there are still individual people trying to obtain and hold guns through illegal channels. This incident has aroused widespread concern and worry among local people, and people have once again expressed concern about social security issues.

At present, the police are conducting further in-depth investigations into the man's channels for obtaining these guns and whether he has other illegal and criminal acts. Relevant departments have also said that they will strengthen the control of guns to ensure the safety of public life and property and the stable order of society and avoid the recurrence of similar incidents. This incident has also sounded an alarm for the whole society, reminding people to strictly abide by laws and regulations and jointly maintain social peace and tranquility.
