Gun violence once again hit the United States, this time resulting in ten casualties. A culprit, still unidentified, unleashed a shooting spree, followed by setting fire to a local church. The incident occurred recently, leaving the public and authorities in shock and profound grief, as they struggle with the aftermath in their bid to restore peace and normalcy.

In Japan, such incidents of gun violence are reported with a significant degree of concern and shock considering the strict firearm regulation policies in the country. Japanese society values public safety and such reports often trigger debates around the stringent laws, calling for more global measures to curtail gun violence.

Gun laws substantially differ in countries such as the US and in the European region when compared to Japan. The US, for instance, has a high rate of gun violence due to its relatively lax gun control laws, while in the EU, regulations vary with some nations having stricter measures in place. These incidents are also handled differently at a societal level in each country.
