Hmm, considering that there are some legit powerful air rifles on the market, I'm surprised by that "no training needed" approach for them? I specifically mean, that there are commercially available air rifles with the same level of stopping power as some intermediate hunter calibres... This is why Canada (my home country) has as law that any air rifle that shoots 500 fps (feet per second) or above is legally considered a firearm and requires a license all the same, as they have lethal levels of force.
I know Germany has similar laws regarding the the amount of muzzle energy or such, so long as the weapon fires a projectile out of a barrel (over barrel designs aren't counted because they weren't included when the laws were written).
Even putting aside laws of individual countries, there are already some air rifles being made that have enough power to hunt large game animals... So yeah, feels weird to see that they don't require a license in some places just because they're air guns.

Ahh, the good old sharp Innova, simple but works. I had one (licenced produced one a lot worse quality than the Japanese one) but have to sold them for a new phone, the gun works just fine for shooting small game bird and rat though I only shoots rat with it.
I mean most laws are made by someone that doesn't understand most of what they write about, they are mostly concerned about publicity and vote sadly. I personally believe the right to bear arms for everyone and I wouldn't consider airgun to be a Firearms, most of them aren't powerful enough to match with the speed of the projectile most Firearms have speed exceeding the speed of sound and have a relatively heavy projectile compared to airguns most of airgun have around 900+ fps the bigger the caliber it likely going to be slower, and range wise currently the farthest ethical shot would be no more than 200 meter with an airgun even that is very questionable. As for training I do believe you should know what to do and what not to do with airgun but I don't think licence are necessary just need to have brain that works normal and aren't having any mentally problems.

The AEA Zeus can fire a .72" projectile at 900fps. Within its effective range, that's a big-game rifle.
I can appreciate the information being provided in this manga, as it both educates and helps the reader realize there is much more going on than just "guns bad, m'kay."
It's also interesting that city people there have the same attitude as here, in that critters are cute and cuddly. unfortunately they are less so when you hit one with a car, a genuine danger and destroyer of crops and property, and risking their own local extinction due to diseases, all because they are over-populated.
Like it or not, Humans are part of the ecosystem and food chain in most places we inhabit. If everyone in my state, for example, were to stop hunting deer, that would be 213,000 deer (this past season alone) that would be alive to breed. We're looking at an exponential growth year to year if all hunting stopped.
Fortunately careful management ensures that an appropriate number are hunted, home freezers and even the less-fortunate have a supply of healthy meat, and the training of self-sufficiency continues.
If the worst-case plausible scenario ever happens, some people can and will survive.
