Ok, there’s another meme going around mentioning Yamamoto’s alleged quote stating the reason Japan never considered invading the US was because there “would be a gun behind every blade of grass”. Then politifact says it’s fake. I remember reading in Guns and Ammo that Yamamoto’s quote was true, but so far any internet searches I try only state the meme is fake.
So did Yamamoto say it or not? Was the Japanese military concerned about all the guns in civilian hands in the U.S. or not? Can anyone show me some historic proof? Any help would be appreciated.
