Not surprising, let's be honest the Japanese during WW2 probably didn't have the best reputation (cough Unit 731, Rape of Nanjing, treatment of Allied POWs) that would lead to them wanting to have these former psychopaths have guns again.
Which ironically led to them getting rid of their entire military, replacing it with a self defence force and having to have the US stationed there permanently which built up resentment thanks to some of the actions of soldiers stationed there.
I think they did the same to Germans too if memory serves right, only thanks to the Berlin Airlift happening so quickly after, it made them backtrack quickly to Germany NEEDS a military again.
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
What SHOULD have happened was they were converted culturally and then had rights restored,
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

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
