These guys are geniuses. I would say there is a lack of gun control over there. Interestingly enough, no one shot anyone. The guns just "went off" by themselves.

"THREE journalists were hurt when a gun went off at a press conference called by Chinese police to highlight the success of a gun-control campaign.
The press conference in Nanchong in Sichuan province was to publicise the results of a campaign by the city's police to seize illegal weapons, the Beijing News reported.
According to Zheng Chongjun, deputy head of the political division of Nanchong police, some of the reporters asked to take photos of the guns seized, the newspaper reported.
One of the police officials mishandled a homemade weapon, releasing the trigger and dropping it.
It was unclear from the report whether the gun contained bullets or shotgun pellets but it said one journalist needed surgery after being hit in the ankle, crotch, and chest."
I added the bold emphasis. I am terribly lost on the "released the trigger" comment. I would say it is unbelieveable, but it is quite to the contrary. How in the heck does no one check to see if the dang things are loaded?! This is the exact reason I don't let anyone point/aim guns anywhere near my general direction - it doesn't matter if I am in a store or not.
