    Also Japan does have rural areas where gun ownership is a ton of paperwork (and about a year waiting period from what I've heard), but very much available to people in good standing for pest control. Nara is completely overrun with deer to the point of ecological peril, and there's at least one part of Japan where there's a dangerous overabundance of bears.

      iirc you have to collect all your spent hulls and keep meticulous inventory of ammunition as well.

        Yeah, apparently to even own a rifle you need to pass the equivalent of a US Military Expert Sharpshooter rating. Which I guess means if someone does decide to go full Minecraft they're gonna hit the target.
