Yet few Americans are aware of the horrible loss in personal freedoms the Japanese people have paid for their low crime rate. It is not just the right to own guns the Japanese people have surrendered to their government; they have also given up the right of self-determination, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right to privacy. In Japan these freedoms are routinely violated.
