Japan has no exclusionary rule, meaning evidence from illegal searches are admissible. You have no right to a lawyer while questioning. Forced confessions, even under torture, are admissible. You don't juries. You have three-judge panels, where conviction/acquittal rates affect their careers. IOW, forget fair trials.
Also, the cops tend to write off cold cases as suicides.
It is also not a diverse (by any definition of the word), nor is it anywhere as individualistic as ours.

None of these countries passed their gun laws to protect society from crime. It had more to do with fearing political violence and revolution. That is especially true in most of Europe (1920s) and Mexico (1960s)
