Mertcan Bulak: Thanks to a combination of high quality, availability, and minimal legal encumbrances, American firearms are sought and acquired by the Japanese. The distributors, and in this case the customers, of the product are primarily the yakuza. Americans have competition from various foreign producers, but they are by far the yakuza's largest single source of weaponry - providing one-third of all handguns seized between 1994 and 1998. This is twice the amount provided by the nearest rival source, China. The United States is, in effect, arming the Japanese underworld.
