Best.Korea would have more freedom if he was born and lived in Japan for his entire life than if he was born and lived in USA for his entire life

USA offers plenty of freedom to most people, but not any to Best.Korea.

One major reason for the low murder rate, in particular is the extremely strict gun laws.  In 2021, there were just ten gun-related incidents and one death recorded; eight were related to criminal gangs (Yakuza), and only two were attributed to members of the general public. This is in a country with a population of just over 125 million people. Again, take a look at US statistics: 47,286 deaths were attributed to guns in 2021, of which around 20,000 were homicides.  Unlike the US, it is almost impossibly difficult to acquire a firearm in Japan.  There are twelve steps a prospective gun owner must go through before purchasing a firearm in Japan, including taking a written exam, obtaining a doctor’s letter, and undergoing a police inspection of your gun storage facility. The whole process may take several months from start to finish, meaning that only the very persistent will get as far as taking a gun home. 

Ability to do something, or being free from limitations or being free from oppression.

Another reason that the streets are so safe is the system of kobans, which are small police offices dotted around city centers and residential areas. Each koban is staffed 24 hours a day by one or two police officers, and there is always one police officer patrolling the area on a bicycle.  The mere presence of a police officer seems to be enough to keep street crime low. The koban system has been used in Japan for over 100 years, and there are currently around 6,600 kobans in the country. The system has been so successful that it has started to be replicated in other parts of the world.

Perhaps the most important reason why Japan has such a low crime rate is Japanese culture and the Japanese “kokuminsei,” or national character. It is well known that the Japanese value social harmony, observe hierarchy, and prefer to avoid conflict. After the Meiji Restoration, the political revolution that resulted in the Japan we see today, the country managed to hold onto its core principle of collectivism and avoid copying the spirit of individualism that is mainstream in the West. In addition, Japan is still a highly homogenous country, with around 97.9% of the population ethnically Japanese. Strict immigration policies have resulted in cultural uniformity and ensure that foreign value systems have had very little influence.

Best.Korea wasnt born in USA. However, Best.Korea was in prison. If Best.Korea was born in USA, he would be in prison for life and he would be raped a lot there :(

 For example, three quarters of all defendants in rape cases were sentenced to prison terms of 2 to 3 years and about one half were granted suspensions, although the statutory provision for rape is imprisonment for 2 to 15 years. Discussions based on comments by judges, public prosecutors, and scholars explain the general leniency trend in terms of judges' beliefs that lighter sentences encourage rehabilitation. Most sentences cluster around the minimum statutory provisions. With regard to some crimes, however, both the courts and the people consider the prescribed penalties too severe (e.g., parricide--life imprisonment, robbery with bodily injury--7 to 15 years). 

When Kaneko Miyuki reported her sexual assault as a seven-year-old in Japan, she remembers the police laughing at her. “I was already confused and scared,” she said. “They wouldn’t take me seriously as a child.”

The following investigation made things worse. After being questioned, she was taken back to the scene of her assault without a guardian present, against all modern guidelines.

The police never did bring her attacker to justice. The whole experience was so traumatizing for Kaneko that she repressed her memory of it until she began having flashbacks in her twenties, and didn’t come to terms with the fact she had been sexually assaulted until her 40s.

Kaneko is among countless Japanese women who say their experiences of sexual assault and abuse were ignored because they “didn’t fit the criteria” of a victim. About 95% of survivors never report their assault to police, and nearly 60% never tell anyone at all, according to a 2020 government survey.

But that could be about to change. On Friday, the Japanese parliament passed a raft of bills overhauling the country’s sex crime laws, long criticized as outdated and restrictive, reflecting conservative social attitudes that often stigmatize and cast doubt on victims.

The new laws expand the definition of rape to place greater emphasis on the concept of consent; introduce national legislation against taking explicit photos with hidden cameras; and raise the age of consent to 16. The previous age of consent, at 13, had been among the lowest in the developed world.

It offers freedom to everyone and even if BK ended up arrested in the US, as a child and teen growing up and even out of prison afterwards, he has more freedom in US than in Japan.

The whole reason that Japan is one of the safest places to live on Earth is because it's one of the most harshly enforcing and I don't just mean the cops.

The very gun law point that BK brings up means he is freer in US than Japan as freedom in this debate is defined as:

Ability to do something, or being free from limitations or being free from oppression.

Even being free to die by gun is itself a freedom under this definition.

One of the most positive parts of what people who enjoy Japan enjoy about it is the fact that it is very far from free hence very safe.

Not only would you be imprisoned in Japan but the sentences are disproportionate. You're more likely to be violated and raped there as rapists have lenient sentencing relative to other crimes as mention in that quote.

If your concern is your body's freedom to not be raped, Japan is one of the worst nations in the 'developed' world to live in.
