They have loads of Katanas but murder by sword is pretty low there as well..
But pop next door to China where guns are banned and you'll see that going mental with a knife is very common - and effective.

So much the stupid VCR Act that once again applied to the LAW ABIDING!! That was meant to stop people below a certain age possessing "dangerous things"
Thankfully, all those mass shootings have one thing in common - the attackers are lousy shots, it's the huddling in groups / doing nothing and waiting to die that's the killer!
Look at the Istanbul club attack at New year:;
180 rounds from 6 magazines in 7 MINUTES is low for a gun that has an RoF of 600RPM. Around 80% of the victims escaped unharmed assuming 600 people in the club, exact numbers not known.
In China, a series of uncoordinated mass stabbings, hammer attacks, and cleaver attacks in the People's Republic of China began in March 2010. The spate of attacks left at least 25 dead and some 115 injured. As most cases had no known motive, analysts have blamed mental health problems caused by rapid social change for the rise in these kinds of mass murder and murder-suicide incidents.[1]
As the Chenpeng school attack was followed by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in the United States hours later[2][3] comparisons were drawn between the two. The difference in gun control laws between the two countries was used to explain the disparity in casualties of the school attacks by journalists and politicians, including U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler,[4][5] and an article in the Associated Press noted that despite the different outcomes, an underlying commonality between the attacks was the increased frequency of school attacks because, "attackers often seek out the vulnerable, hoping to amplify their outrage before they themselves often commit suicide."[6]
