Keiichi Furukawa, 59, a high-ranking yakuza of Yamaguchi-gumi, was pronounced dead at a hospital after being shot on a street after 5 p.m.

Looks like the weapon was the "Assault Rifle" that left wingers here are so afraid of...but...how did he get one in Japan?

Yakuza shooting shocks Japan | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News

People in Japan are in shock over a violent murder.
A senior member of a yakuza crime syndicate was shot in a busy shopping district. And in a country where guns are strictly controlled, the weapon appears to have been an assault rifle.

The shooting happened around 5pm Wednesday in the western city of Amagasaki. About a dozen shell casings were found at the scene.

This is the automatic rifle thought to have been used. Experts say it's likely a modification of the M16. That's a model that was used by the US military.

The Yakuza obviously bought it in the U.S. and shipped to Japan... duh... it's our fault we let our guns roam free and unattended...

This fails as a confirmation bias fallacy.

Interesting, an island, with extraordinarily tough gun laws, and bad guys can still get them.

Who knew.

As far as where it came from...could be the US, could be Mexico, but with over a billion weapons in the world it truly doesn't matter.

Bad guys get guns. It's what they do. Only a fool believes that disarming the non criminals will prevent criminals from getting them.

Moron....they likely got it from the Japanese military or police...

Oh lookey the pseudo intellectual misusing fallacy rhetoric yet again.

Go back under your rock.

Damn shame some folks don't get that. It would save a lot of bandwidth as there would be a whole lot fewer idiotic gun control threads...

The gun control fanatics want power. So long as the American public has guns they can't have the power they so desperately desire.

They won't stop till the revolution begins, or the 2nd Ammendment is destroyed and the purges begin.

For more than 30 years I've been telling people that gun control laws are about controlling people, not guns.
