Well I think its more to do with that Japan has really strict gun laws too. Its not that common. But you are still on the money.

Probably the current pm. The current PM will also take his place if he lives. The current PM took his place two years ago because Abe retired.

Historically speaking the kinds of people who do this stuff are ultranationalists so it could be a lone deranged Yakuza who thought he wasn't racist enough to Koreans or something but I doubt the Yakuza as an organization would waste money orchestrating an attack on a former PM.

Oh so the title of this thread is misleading. He isnt the current PM. This is still horrible but doesnt have much impact on Japan's current government.

It won't disrupt the government but there will absolutely be a political reaction to this and it will be extremely heavy handed.

Abe might not be the current PM but he is still extremely popular in his party and has a big influence.

He was apparently shot from behind with a shotgun, and is currently unresponsive and in cardiac arrest. It certainly doesn't sound good.

Could very well be an assassination attempt from some organization. They would have a much easier way of getting a gun compared to your average Joe.

Unlikely. This kind of thing isn't really the Yakuza's style. Plus Yakuza are actually suffering a manpower and power/influence shortage.
https://apjjf.org/2012/10/7/Andrew-Rankin/3688/article.html

Based on how this sort of thing usually shakes out in Japan it was probably some ultra-nationalist.

Probably nil. If this is in any way linked to any organized crime syndicate, itll lead to the mother of all crackdowns against the lot of them. And they assuredly all know that. An ex-PM is way too high profile of a Yakuza hit.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

unfortunately, it seems he didn't.

NHK and Kyodo both reported Abe was taken to hospital and appeared to be in cardo-respiratory arrest a term used in Japan indicating no vital signs, and generally preceding a formal certification of death by a coroner.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo collapsed on the street in the western city of Nara while making a speech for an election campaign. The fire department says he is showing no vital signs. Police say a man has been taken into custody.
Abe was supporting a Liberal Democratic Party candidate's election campaign. He collapsed at around 11: 30 a.m. He was taken to a hospital.
The fire department says he is in cardiopulmonary arrest. He is scheduled to be taken by medevac to a different hospital. Police say Abe appears to have been shot from behind with a shotgun.
An NHK reporter who was at the scene says Abe was bleeding. The reporter heard what sounded like gun going off twice.
The site is near Yamatosaidaiji Station in Nara City.
