Wait, people said gun control would not work since criminals could always get guns. Well, apparently those Chinese criminals didn't have gun. And I was wondering why.

And they never, ever talk about the right to live of those who are slaughtered. Those people's rights just don't matter, I guess.

What do they do, look at their beloved guns, then look at the pictures of the myriad of victims, and come to the decision that their guns have more value than those lost lives?

33 Dead, 130 Injured in China Knife-Wielding Spree

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/3...g-spree-n41966
With a population of 1.4 million, this is statistically insignificant.

Your link makes clear this attack was tribal in nature and perpetuated by an organized group of thugs.

Starting your comments with "gun nuts" is not anyway to start a conversation. The only ammo I had to pay up for was .22LR.....everything else stayed the same, pretty much.

DIFI, is that you....

Yes, cause the guy that did the killing, so worried about those peoples rights....

So, again, dead is not dead unless you've been killed with a gun....

Why do people that are going to kill, go to gun free zones?

The right is already infringed upon. Goes in good with the millions of other things the State does in violation of the individual's rights.

This is not about taking guns. It's about actually addressing the issue.

Nah, in America we still protect the rights of anyone who so chooses to slaughter as many as they can get away with before they're taken down.

If this right was infringed upon in any way this wouldn't be the case, yet here we are, week after bloody week.

If you want to argue that we should be like China, I will pass. Any laws that might be in China did not stop people from killing did it?
