Im not from the US, so while im an english speaker it looks like I would not be the target for this kind of cultural localisation - but wouldn’t you go to jail for owning an illegal firearm in the US too?

Technically there should be some legal recourse, perhaps jail, whether or not that comes to pass is subject to the same shenanigans law afforcement usually comes with.
But that isn’t what they were saying, they were saying that in japan almost no-one is allowed guns so the likelihood that a person was defending their house with a legal gun is very low.
I agree it wasn’t totally clear.

Much appreciated. I believe that it’s possible to own a shotgun in Japan for the purpose of hunting, but getting one is extremely regulated and difficult.

Iirc the situation is similar in the UK, for hunting and “pest control”
