“Wow, so cool! They were cool before but now they’re even cooler and can do the job of protection even better! Now they have the power to decide one’s life. If some of the police officers’ personalities are not so good, then I’m kind of worried. Will they feel free to shoot? As far as I know from cases I have read online, police might hurt people.”– Liang Jing, Chinese subject, I mean citizen who likes the idea of armed cops but at the same time is afraid
Associated Press reporting that Chinese cops have joined their British Bobby counterparts and have started arming themselves with guns. This in a country where private ownership of guns is outright banned!
For the first time in ‘Communist’ China’s history, cops will be armed with guns for routine patrols. Why? Their own studies into why so many people are killed with knives show it is because there wasn’t anybody armed with a gun who could have stopped the knife attacks! In other words, they’ve come to the same conclusion that many true U.S. citizens have, that if people are armed with guns then it’s much easier/faster to stop a violent crime.
There have been growing numbers of mass knifings in China, some by disgruntled Han who’ve been screwed over by the move towards capitalism, and others by Uighurs who’re tired of being screwed over by the Han elite.
In China, being an ethnic/religious minority seeking independence because you’re tired of being screwed over is reason to be called a terrorist, officially.
In crony capitalist Communist China, the government is viewed as the “people” while the people are viewed as potential enemies. Therefore the only “people” allowed to have guns is the government.
Obviously the true people of China do not have the same attitude as their elitist government leaders, as proven by the record number of gun confiscations, year after year.
If China was a true Communist country then everybody should be armed with guns, not just the government. And then there’s Switzerland, where every household can take part in the country’s militia and is actually issued machine guns they can keep at home. Go ahead, check the violent crime rate in Switzerland against other countries who ban ownership of guns, I dare you!
