I think gun violence is very uncommon in Japan. People were probably more confused than scared

Apparently "less than ten gun deaths nationwide every year", for a country of 125m people. It's generally a low crime country.

The crime rate is not linked to gun crime rate in that country as the guns are completely illegal. Even 10 gun deaths per year is virtually impossible if guns are totally banned - where are these guns coming from?
At the same time there is violent crime, just not with guns.
