I wonder if this will be covered on CCTV or whatever the main news channel is in China. They're probably more focused on how many fireworks they shot off last night in order to stroke their national ego
# of fireworks stroke national ego? it's pretty common to see all that fireworks there. people are pretty used to it.
considering China invented fireworks, I'll forgive them a little if they want to show off how good they are with them.
why are we talking about gun control in an incident that involved two Americans getting stabbed in China?
Well, you dont HAVE to disagree. You can still agree your argument is weak and care about gun control. Besides, he was talking about your knife arugment specifically being weak.
Here's an interesting line from your link: "The fact that each person carried a six-shooter meant that each had a relatively equal amount of power. That minimized violence."
I dunno about the article but I know for a fact pistols were very uncommon. The technology back then could not produce barrels as good as today and the accuracy of the pistols was very bad. Not to mention they were also very expensive due to all the moving parts. Most people just had a rifle or shotgun.
Hope the wife pulls through. So you are saying this is the result of gun control, not the crazy chinese guy? That guns should be allowed on planes so that the two tourists could have brought their own guns? Also, if the crazy chinese guy did have a gun, more than 1 person would have died that day before another gun toter could have shot him. I also would like to point out your complete lack of sympathy for the victims as you only cared about scoring your political point.
