Well, you need to look at Japanese history, law, and society.

Japan has essentially been forbidden from having an actual military since the second world war. Ownership of firearms is incredibly restricted, to the extent that even organized crime and police rarely use them. These groups both have access to them, but the Japanese in general (as a culture/society) frown really heavily on firearms or other major weapons.
