I thought all the guns were taken from everyone in Japan.

Watching now. Looks like a double barrel home made shotgun.

Was anyone else injured?

WW III is the best forum for this breaking news? I'm curious why you would think so 👍

Shooter identified as Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, according to Nara police.

This could be tied to Taiwan and China.

We don't yet know what motivated this. But assassinations have started wars before. Including at least one world war(or so we're told).

Two World Wars to be technical. And here is the gun that did that.

Funny : started not noticing much, except that so many were wearing masks.
Then noticed that the accused was also wearing a mask. ( Easier to approach ? )
Then noticed Abe on the ground, with no mask on, nor on the ground nearby.


Also : in the top pic, which appears to have been taken after the second pic : there appears to be a person in shorts, laying on the ground, with their legs sticking up in the air ? ( Middle, way left of the pic. )

Will keeping a watch to see how this is spun by the MSM™.
That's when we will start to get clues of what it's all aboot.

FN 1910 semi-automatic.

Note the person on the ground with their feet up.

Now go across slightly to the right to have a look at the person in grey. Just an observer? Standing with hands behind their back. So, no defensive reaction at all, just stands there like a posted observer.

More to these pics than first meets the eye.

Yea, that woman with her heels up is cause for some very innappropriate laughter!

Suspect is a former maritime self defense member?

Japanese Navy?

I may have incorrectly characterized Shinzo Abe has a globalist.

Some have told me he was very much an anti-Globalist concerned about China's incursions and threats in the region.

I happily stand corrected on this, but then it certainly changes the dynamic and may actually play a bigger role than I believed in this assassin's motive.

I admittedly do not know enough about Japanese politics to make heads or tails of this.

He was campaigning for his protege, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
