Two people were injured in a shooting at the Japanese Prime Minister's residence on Tuesday. The 41-year-old suspect, Keizo Obuchi, has been identified and is in custody.

Since 1960, there was also an assassination of Japanese politicians. What's behind this increase? It's still a mystery, but it's thought that the motive for these murders is a political ideology and/or anger over political decisions.  This marks the 10th assassination of a politician in Japan since 1921 and raises more questions about the state of political violence in the country. This latest assassination is yet another dark chapter in Japan's history, and the public must stay vigilant in the face of this violence.

Shinzo Abe as the leader of the world's third-largest economy and one of the world's most powerful democracies, Abe wanted to defuse tensions with China and strengthen ties between the two countries. However, his strategy of trying to strengthen ties with China ultimately backfired and led to his current political situation. Some see his recent assassination as related to the Chinese government.

Japan's gun control laws

 

Japan's gun control laws are some of the strictest in the world. As it turns out, the shooter in the Abe shooting was able to get his hands on a gun also after these restrictions. The shooter had no proper licencing or registration.

 

Shinzo Abe's grandfather was also a target of assassination attempts

 

For anyone familiar with Japanese history, the attempted murder of Shinzo Abe is no surprise. His grandfather, Shintaro Abe, was also the target of an assassination attempt back in 1960. Despite this history of violence, Shinzo Abe has since become Japan's longest-serving Prime Minister—a testament to his political skills and determination. The shooting is just one example of how volatile life can be—it is important to stay vigilant.
