Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : That assassination rocked Japan, a country with tough gun laws and scant violent crime, and kicked off a political firestorm the reverberations of which are still being felt today.
46% : After Mr. Yamagami confessed, a guilty verdict was inevitable, but his lawyers had argued for a lesser sentence of 20-years, citing his difficult upbringing and claiming the weapon used - built by Mr. Yamagami from YouTube tutorials with metal cylinders, vinyl tape and a battery ignition - did not fall under Japan's strict gun control regulations.
38% : While murder is subject to the death penalty in Japan, judges rarely apply it in cases where there is only one casualty.
