Did you know Imperial Japan had less strict gun control laws than modern Japan and that it was the Allied powers that had imposed the laws to ban Japanese civilians from owning weapons, which is why guns are banned in Japan today? (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

You know that the Allied powers were disarming not just the Japanese military but the Japanese CIVILIANS right? i thought you would understand that the civilians are not the military nor the government. The whole argument over civilians having the right to have guns is so that they can fight the government is it not? and yet the Allied powers obviously didnt believe in that as they disarmed the Japanese civilians

Most of the allied powers don't believe in civilians having the right to have guns in the first place.

Yeah the 'victorious side' was retarded with that belief, it's only fortunate America had it written centuries earlier as the 2nd ammendment and even THEN there's been constant gun grabs.

Yes that's what I was inferring

You only need to look up the Battle of Okinawa to see why they wouldn't trust CIVILIANS with weapons either.

They had the same issue in Germany too that led to the 'werwolf' paranoia for a while not to mention there were still a few legitimate traps placed for allied soldiers by resentful Germans after WW2.

It was stupid not to repeal it all later though when it was confirmed they wouldn't want to murder you all when they got their guns and swords back as that stifled having more home grown experience with weapons.

The Allied powers claim "we're freeing them from authoritarian rule" and "we're fighting for freedom" whilst banning the civilians from having guns .

I mean Japanese women were killing their babies and bundling them up in blankets with live grenades and explosive devices

It's 1/2 dozen vs 6 in this case, they couldn't be trusted with weapons but technically every free man has a right to defend themselves.

What SHOULD have happened was they were converted culturally and then had rights restored, but that's fairy land where government isn't crooked

So basically "we will only allow you weapons once we've brainwashed you to think the way we want you to think"

Gee i wonder if that doesn't set any bad precedence. Like i dont know.... Leftists taking away guns from right wingers and deciding to only give the guns back after they've brainwashed right wingers to become leftists

I think the problem is you're assuming all cultures are equal and hence deserve the same constitutional rights. Nah. I wouldn't trust quite a few nationalities to freely own guns

If not all cultures are equal, then America doesn't have the right to impose its values on to every other country because other cultures would naturally be better off under different type of governance and not every country or culture would fit the American style of governance .Yet America has continuously justified every war its been in as "trying to fight the evil authoritarians" and acting like other countries are less moral for not having the "free democracy or republic" that America does. Claiming you fight for freedom and acting like everyone else is morally inferior for having less freedom, whilst you also ban citizens of another country from owning weapons is the height of hypocrisy.

And actually, America has been interfering with other countries affairs since day one. One of America's founding fathers Thomas Jefferson even supported the French revolution and helped rewrite some of the new French constitution, just because he didn't like monarchy even though the French revolution was literally a proto communist revolution
