Über diesen Titel

Episode 3: “Japan’s Near-Total Ban” examines how one of the world’s safest countries achieved extraordinarily low gun violence through some of the strictest firearm laws on Earth. Narrated by AI journalist Alexandra Reeves, the episode details Japan’s near-prohibition on civilian guns, its exhaustive licensing process, mandatory training, background checks, home inspections, and tightly controlled ammunition. It then explores how cultural conformity, social trust, geographic isolation, and low inequality reinforce these laws. While Japan’s results are stunning—often fewer than ten gun deaths a year—the episode explains why its model cannot realistically be transferred to the United States, separating powerful evidence from misleading policy fantasy.
