of course you Texans love guns

@@Rainierverse youtube censored my reply! But of course, they are The Enemy. Of course! Having them makes a country harder to invade. Look what the Viet Minh/Viet Cong did for Vietnam. Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan, South Korea, any of the Southeast Asian nations, would do well to have a 2nd Amendment of their own. Having one would make China, or any other potential invader, think twice before attacking. H

@@Rainierverse The Japanese love the sword. I see no issues with this. An armed society is better able to protect itself from inner, and outer, threats. Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, all of them would be better able to defend themselves if they were. The "ministry of truth" at yt keeps censoring my comments so it's difficult to respond. I'd be surprised if this response isn't censored as well. H

@@Rainierverse I replied to this 3 days ago and someone must have reported my comment to pedotube. If you're Japanese, don't you revere the blade?

tinder to ignite the gunpower

Guns were introduced to Japan by Portuguese adventurers who were shipwrecked near the shore of Tanegashima, a small island south of Kyushu, in 1543. Matchlock pistols and guns modeled on the imported weapons began to be made in Japan and were an important feature of battles during the 1570s and 1580s.

This is what i searched.

There's a reason why no European power invade Japan at that time because they were able to produce their own matchlocks.

@@jonaspete IIRC large part of Asia (both continental and maritime) were already using firearm when the exploration era began. So it's certainly not because firearm western power decided not to mess with the Japanese. It probably because Japanese has just been united under one banner, so a colonization idea is dumb to say the least. Colonization works when you're separated into tiny petty States, not when you're united. Why would you take the huge risk of taking a united nation, where tiny little states were plenty elsewhere? Even if you succeed in subjugating it, it would drain your treasury empty.

In fact, during the Warring States period, Japan had the largest possession of firearms in the world.
