China's Strict Gun Laws Make me Feel Safe

I like how he mentions China's death penalty in comparison to the US but doesn't compare our legal proceedings to China's. I guess comparing the two justice systems doesn't support his argument. Kind of makes it the silver lining of a travesty of justice.
 
Somehow, none of what this guy writes makes me want to give up my guns, or worse yet, live in China.
 
Also nobody mentioned that FOREIGHNERS are much safer in China than the Chinese, because of the severely harsh punishments for offenses against foreighners. If somebody mugs a foreighner, they're dead if they get caught. Creates a great impression on visitors (oh, how safe it is!), but that's just a facade... Or so I've been told.

Mobile Chinese execution bus. Just one of numerous such buses that travel throughout China executing and harvesting organs for sale.

China has one of the largest markets in selling organs of executed prisoners. When the demand for organs increases, as if by magic an increase in people convicted of capitol punishment crimes happens.


I remember part of a story were a lawyer spoke out that every single one of his clients had been found guilty, and that the process was merely a formality where anyone charged was found guilty. The lawyer then was taken by police and disappeared as well.
One of the lawyers clients had been tried, convicted, and executed for a rape and murder charge. The real rapist later confessed.
Here it is, complete with the lawyer speaking out before he is never seen again: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5f0_1175771241



Eventually though China will be the most powerful and dominant nation in the world. They are already getting close, and will be there soon.

So you're less likely to be shot in a robbery with an illegal firearm, but more likely to be run over with a tank...

... or starved to death with millions of others.

I have three words for that twit:

So the author points to Chinese gun laws as being the reason for why china has a low per-capita crime rate? I might be willing to concede he has a point just as soon as he writes an essay highlighting the Chinese justice system's respect for due process and acknowledgment of certain civil rights.

+1 Well said

Freedom incurs risks. China can keep him.
 
So... per capita, China's murder rate is half.

Hate to break the news to this dolt, but if he were killed in China, he'd still be 100% dead, not half.
 
Well, you could always defect. You have to be willing to put up with all that China has to offer to have that kind of "security". It might be just great, until they want to make an example of YOU over something, and you find you have no significant "rights".
 
I think this quote does it the most justice:

"Look at it this way. If America frightens you, feel free to live somewhere else. There are plenty of other countries that don't suffer from excessive liberty. America is where the Liberty is. Liberty is not certified safe." -- gh@c2

I have a question... Who is this guy? Is he even a real person? I mean we are talking China where every aspect of life is controlled by the government. Maybe, if he is real, he feels the way he wrote. Maybe he is paid to write things like this. Maybe he is being FORCED to write things like this. A real possibility is that "he" is an office in the 'Ministry of Information"

Oh and I love the mention of AK-47s. Who is the largest exporter of AKs? I bet it is Norinco :D
Personally, I would never buy any weapon made in China. I had to debate myself for a while before buying a Romanian gun.

I work down the street from the "Memorial to Those Oppressed by Communism"
It is a smaller scale version of the Tienanmen Square statue. There are always wreaths placed there by survivors or their families. Some of the notes are very touching.
 
China's advantage is a more homogeneous society than our own. Stricter upbringing is part of the culture too and there also a stronger sense of shame that accompanies misconduct.

Here in America our criminals gloat in the glory of their misdeeds.
 
I remember reading an article a few months ago, I wish I could give a citiation, but I don't recall it. The article said that mainland Chinese really love firearms and millions of Chinese shoot them discreetly in isolated areas. If a person is of the proper socio-economic group and not a political enemy of the local police, the cops look the other way at technically illegal gun possession. I hear owning a gun is a bit of a fad in mainland China now, a symbol of having made it to the middle or upper classes.
 
I believe he has been on Vacation with Van Jones our ex Dear Green Czar. Hey, maybe he can invite him over there to la la land.
 
Sooner or later as the Chinese get richer and richer, i bet they can own guns. They can bribe officials like in other countries. The world is changing , watch and see. Its matter of time and not how .Money speaks...
 
I wonder how comfortable he would feel if he wasn't a foreigner.

Lots of very fast trials that end in death (also very fast) there.

Funny that he overlooks those things about China.

He is welcome to stay there if he wants - I won't miss him here.
 
in china, criminals won't shoot you...THE GOVERNMENT WILL

you'll be just as dead.
 
So... per capita, China's murder rate is half

China is also known to create whatever statistics it feels will be both believed, and paint the nation in the best image possible. The government controls the media, and all legal statistics and government reports are under the control of the one party government, reviewed and released as they desire.

So they won't say 0, but they will say something that is both believable absent any other sources, and significantly less than reality.


China does this well, but many other nations do the same thing. In the United States the rates reported are much closer to reality than the rates reported by many other governments. Some governments even divide thier crimes into strange classifications to avoid traditional tallies, so the resulting rate of certain crimes is different than it would be recorded in a place like the US.
Lying to paint the best picture possible is common of authoritarian single party regimes. After all there is no other political party to blame things on, and also only one party to take credit for success or failure.
 
That article writer nuts.

There are plenty of guns in China. Unfortunately, only the government has them. They don't use them too much though as they have other means. Imagine the same gun restrictions here + martial law in effect. Yeah, that sounds great. Remember when socialism was a bad word?!

If we do for whatever reason go to war one day, I would anticipate invasion. China has a lot of people. I mean a lot. Maybe India would come on our side though? I don't want to think about it really. German's about due to go a conquering though.
