Women with a Gun in the U.S.
A Japanese woman put her impressions of an American novel in columns of a Japanese newspaper.
The novel was about daily lives of policewomen in the U.S.
The point of issue is that they shoot the suspected to death without hesitation even when they are off duty.
This feeling cannot arouse sympathy of Japanese female readers.
"American women with a gun are so quick to kill petty offenders!"

Of course, it is a result of long-term, horrible experiences of American policewomen, in my view.
But, Americans should be alerted to a kind of deterioration in their social environment.
It is also alarming that one in 35 citizens in the U.S. is a criminal or an ex-criminal.

To your astonishment, you cannot buy a handgun at any shops in Japan.
No family has a handgun technically in Japan.
Though it is yet to be the case in Japan, if everybody in a town has the same amount of money and assets in their pockets, none should carry a handgun with himself / herself on the street for any purposes.

It may also be an issue of a kind of psychological syndromes.
What they need is courage to seek a right solution, love for neighbors, even though those policewomen still have a right and duty to be armed with a handgun.
