My Conversation Partner, K, and I went to the mall. He bought some books and, at the big sporting goods store, sandals. As we passed the hunting section, K said that guns were basically illegal in Japan and he didn't know anybody who owned one.
When I arrived home, I told my 18-year-old son about this conversation. He already knew all about Japanese gun laws, which I later looked up on the Internet, where I learned that most years, Japan has fewer than 20 gun-related deaths, and usually, far fewer than that.
