Carrying one myself might be fine, but thinking that everyone carries them too... that is scary.
Have you thought you ever wanted to carry a gun?
A real gun? That would
Hey guy and girls on Ask Japanese it's CathyCat and the cat over there
Today we are gonna go hit the streets of Tokyo to ...
ask Japanese about the recent news and article that shows that actually
more kids in the US have died from guns than from cars or other traffic related incidents
So let's ask Japanese
It is said that more kids have died due to guns than from traffic accidents in the US. Thoughts?
Every time I see the news I think America has a serious problem with guns
They do not have to be as strict with guns as Japan is, but the US should regulate it more.
France has a rule against carrying guns, but many do not abide by that rule
So when there are rules, it is also important that the people follow them
So its forbidden in france to carry a gun, but some still do?
Some have them in secret, which often becomes a problem
there are murders due to that.
I admire the safety that exists here in Japan.
If you were allowed to carry a gun in Japan, would you?
I would not carry one - No way
I do not think we need guns - There is no need for them
It is more dangerous to have them, I might accidentally shoot.
Because you would not know how to use them - Yeah
I sometimes hear news like that in the US, like a kid accidentally shooting their sibling
stuff like that happens there - kids think its a toy
Did you hear that America has a gun problem?
I heard that - What did you hear?
I heard that every house has one gun
Just in case - Is that so?
Did you not know - I did not
What image do you have of America's gun system?
I think it is scary to have a gun at home
What would you do... if it was ok to have a gun in Japan?
I think that would be just scary
If I just have one that might be fine, but thinking that everyone around me carries one too.. that is scary
Cause everyone has one - yes
I do not want to carry a gun, and I do not want anyone to carry a gun really
SCARY
Have you ever thought you wanted to carry a gun?
A gun as a weapon?
As a primary school kid I did
Toys? - Yeah like gun toys and airguns right
Did you want to carry one?
gun as like a weapon?
When I was an elementary school kid
I thought I wanted one too
I am a business man now, so sometimes when I am angry I feel like I wanna shoot people
But in the US people can carry them for real right
What are your thoughts on that?
The country I want to visit the most right now is the US
But when I hear about that, then I find it hard to go. It's scary.
We are both very noisy guys, people might want to shoot us if we go.
Because you are noisy? - yeah yeah
If you were allowed by law to carry a gun in Japan, would you carry one?
Even then I would not carry one
Why? - Japan is a safe country!\
We do not need guns in Japan.
There would be no reason to use a gun so there's no reason to carry it
Imagine I am an older sister ok?
" All my girlfriends started buying a gun, I am thinking of getting one too, what do you think?"
You should not do that. Women should not carry guns, I think.
You shouldnt carry one.
Women shouldn't? - Yes - Why?
If they are in trouble, they should depend on a boy to protect them - Ah
"Leave it to me" type? - Yes
We heard that in the US more kids have die due to guns than due to traffic accidents. Thoughts?
We saw this recently on Japanese TV that US kids in primary school died because of guns. Scary.
This is scary, cant even imagine that happening in Japan.
why do people carry guns in the US in the first place?
There is no end to the issues. Like, someone annoys you so you shoot them...
we do not have that in japan
I guess some people want to have guns
But I do not understand the reason
As a primary school kid I thought carrying a gun would be cool
the admiration for guns has died out for me when I was a primary school kid
As a grown up member of society I know that guns are a dangerous thing
Of course kids know they are dangerous too, but even more now. I do not want one.
America specific questions like these are honestly always a little bit hard to ask
on one part there is not so much knowledge on american culture, knowledge , background the reasons
why these things are there, that is why some japanese said they dont just understand why
but also because it is a very different culture and
most of the Japanese people said Japan is a very safe country
and there is no neccessity for these things.
It would be great if there would be no neccessity for guns in any country to be honest
also what a lot of Japanese people just said, japan is safe and
if you think about it even the police they are still carrying old revolvers
because there was no need for them to change it to automatic
hand weapons at all.
if you are curious about that we made a video about guns and weapons and police here in japan
thats this video and if you are curious go and check that one out
thanks for tuning into Ask Japanese, we asked a question you wanted us to ask
so we did. have a good day bye.
