The inability of the 25 year old Japanese man to judge that the object he was holding was in fact an operating firearm with genuine ammunition is a consequence of a man living in a society where individual thought is frowned upon and people tend to follow the rules regardless of how inane they are.
The 25 year old teacher who put the bullets into the firearm thinking it was a toy, believed it was a toy because it is very difficult to own a firearm in Japan and so the teacher thought that since it was so difficult to get a firearm, than the object he was holding was in fact a very real looking toy gun.
The police quoted the teacher as saying he did not believe the gun was real. Nobody was injured in the incident.
According to the police and the school, the 25-year-old teacher and others found the student had brought an action figure into the classroom last Wednesday. The teacher inspected the student’s belongings and found the gun and what appeared to be live bullets. The teacher then put the items in the teachers’ room.
"At about 5 p.m. Saturday, the teacher put a bullet into the gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit a wooden chair in the teachers’ room. Only the teacher and one of his colleagues were in the room at the time."
ReplyDeleteThis could probably be called an ignorant discharge, since he really had no idea about how guns work. So the next question would be what is a teacher doing playing with someone else's toy that he confiscated.
This defends the NRA policy that all teachers should be armed, and no possible accident could happen to hurt the children in their charge.
ReplyDeleteAnon, I know you're just kidding. It merely proves that ignorance is a bad thing. The teacher jumped to the conclusion that it MUST be a toy since guns are so rare.
DeleteA comparison might be made to a teacher handling a snake that proves to be poisonous because he had no clue how to identify such a snake because he thought them so rare he didn't think it could be so.
I found this part interesting:
Delete"has been arrested on suspicion of violating the Firearms and Swords Control Law"
What rot, Anonymous. Japan does everything possible to make sure its citizens are ignorant of guns.
DeleteIt shows the stupidity of having teachers armed, more children will be harmed. Mikes blog proves, where guns are present, innocent people die. I guess you find that funny.
DeleteNo, it shows that someone with no knowledge about guns can be dangerous. I have no problem with requiring armed teachers to be trained to carry in schools.
Delete"Someone with no knowledge of guns can be dangerous?" Are you shittin' me, Greg? The stories I post are just the tip of the iceberg of what's going on out there and EVERY ONE OF THEM is about guys with knowledge of guns.
DeleteWe're talking about a teacher in Japan.
DeleteNo, we are talking about gun ignorance, even those who are supposedly trained. Mike's posts prove that even trained gun users are negligent idiots who should not be allowed to own guns. .
DeleteToo bad for you that rights aren't subject to your desires.
DeleteThat's how you see rights? You have a right to be a negligent killer. Thanks for proving again, that you are nothing but a criminal.
DeleteFor all your attempts at destroying the American gun culture, what the Japanese did to their rich sword culture of over a thousand years is even more heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
Delete"Heartbreaking?" Hahahahahaha.
DeleteIt's called evolving and growing and moving into the 20th and 21st centuries.
