We’ve reported on this before, but it is in the mainstream media again – unfortunately ONLY in the mainstream media in China as the Western media seems not to notice. Police in China have seized more than 50,000 guns in a crackdown that began in March and will continue to China’s October 1 National Day celebration. But it isn’t just guns either reports the Window of China news organization:
“Chinese police have confiscated more than 50,000 guns and nearly 900 tonnes of explosives in a crackdown during the past five months, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said Thursday. Nearly 10,000 suspects have been arrested.”
This is again notable because in China possession of any firearm is illegal. If it is possible for so many guns to be in private hands in a Communist state that controls the media, and has limited infrastructure with roads and rails, how can anyone in the United States believe that criminals here wouldn’t also manage to find guns?
