Mexico and Canada Still in the News, What About Europe and Asia?

Throughout the summer the American mainstream media took time to report on how American made firearms were supposedly fueling a drug war in Mexico, while the incidents of shootings in Canada was about because of American hardware.

Meanwhile, very little has been picked up in the States on the thousands of firearms seized in Australia and China – two nations were gun ownership is either difficult or impossible. For the record, private gun ownership in Communist China is entirely banned. And at the same time, unfortunately crime is up in the U.K., with cities like Manchester seeing a significant increase in gun crime in the past decade. However, this hardly gets any play in the United States.

The reason is likely crystal clear. In China, and in the U.K., it isn’t American guns that are in the hands of criminals. So for the MSM there is no story.
