NARA, Japan (AP) — Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated Friday on a street in western Japan by a gunman who opened fire on him from behind as he delivered a campaign speech — an attack that stunned a nation with some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere.

The 67-year-old Abe, who was Japan’s longest-serving leader when he resigned in 2020, collapsed bleeding and was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Nara, although he was not breathing and his heart had stopped. He was later pronounced dead after receiving massive blood transfusions, officials said.

Independent blogger, Zero Hedge makes the claim the gun was a homemade shotgun:

While in custody, the gunman (a former maritime self-defense forces member) told police he intended to kill Abe because he was "frustrated" with the former premier, according to national public broadcaster NHK. 

The assassination is one of Japan's highest-profile acts of political violence since World War Two and came ahead of the country's upper house election on Sunday, which the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is expected to win. 

Japan is one of the world's safest countries and has the strictest gun control laws. There are still no details on the homemade shotgun and its manufacturing.

Apparently Abe had rejected some vaccine shipments, distributed Ivermectin and wouldn’t mandate vaccines.  Also wasn’t a stooge of the WEF.  Watch out Donald Trump.

Ah, more trolling since that’s not close to what I said.  Report yourself to Charles and go stand in the corner until he decides what to do with you.
