Buying a gun in Japan requires determination and skill.

1. Potential owners must attend an all-day class
2. Pass a written exam
3. Achieve at least 95% accuracy during a shooting-range test
4. They have to pass a mental-health evaluation, which takes place at a hospital
5. Pass a background check, in which the government digs into their criminal record and interviews friends and family
6. They can only buy shotguns and air rifles — no handguns — and every three years they must retake the class and initial exam

Sure beats going to Bass Pro, waiting an hour and buying a piece of s**t Ta**us.

Gun control has been a topic of national conversation since the Texas shooting. Japan may offer some help for preventing future attacks.
