No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The reason is even crazier
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Shinzo_Abe
Tl;dr the killer held a grudge against this religion (cult) which Abe helped spread in Japan. His mother had given all of the family's money to them and basically ruined the entire family's lives.
And succesfully using a makeshift gun at a rare occasion of Abe visiting his town. The whole story reeks of wtf moments. Reddit was mad when it started to uncover.
As an American I both respect and fear that man's ability to redneck engineer a working gun and kill a president
Surprisingly enough, makeshift guns are plentiful and incredibly ingenious. Some are even made with completely out of the box thinking.
I've seen guns made from these, steel pipes turned into single shot rifles and even muzzle loaders.
