Analysis: The Japanese family that did more for U.S. gun control than most Americans
These contemporary shootings echo what happened to Hattori three decades before.
Hattori was on his way to a party for exchange students with the young son in the family he was staying with, Webb Haymaker. They knocked on the door of the house that they presumed was hosting the party, but when a woman opened a side door and then slammed the door, they walked away, realizing they had the wrong home.
The death of a young Japanese man in these circumstances drew enormous media coverage in Japan, where gun violence is rare. Japan has some of the world’s strictest laws on gun ownership. Most, with only a handful of deaths in the country of 125 million. The death of Hattori presented a different side of gun violence: That of killings due to mistakes. When his killer was later acquitted of criminal charges by a Baton Rouge jury following the argument he stood his ground in defense of his home, it furthered views that the United States had been driven mad by weapons.
