Of course, if there are no guns there wouldn't be gun crimes. But Chinese culture is also so different than American culture. I'm half Chinese by the way, and I will admit that alot of Chinese people are raised to be non-confrontational. Match that with the fact that they barely just got their toes wet in what we call Western Culture. And this will sound very cliche but, the source of violent crime is not guns. Its violent people with guns. Take away their guns and we'll get more knife crimes, take away knife crimes and we'll get more baseball bat crimes etc. Violent crimes won't just stop because one mean of violence has been banned.
I remember one of my family members houses getting robbed. The funny thing is though, nothing was taken. The back window was shattered and there were some muddy footprints in the house, but nothing was taken. Sorry to hear that you got held at gunpoint OP. That is a horrible experience.
I think this is the story. Hope you are hanging in there moe. http://www.click2houston.com/news/20267812/detail.html
The comments in the link above make me want to move to a remote island away from all semblance of human interaction.
This is why I think my days here may be coming to an end. When I read about this, I assumed the OP was the head of the household. This board's posters are getting way too young for me.
isn't the street south cedar hollow the gated community?!?!?! i have two friends that live on that street. i know it's a huge street that goes in a loop, but still, that's crazy that i know two families that live at that address.

My comment was meant to be taken as MOVE OUTTA HOUSTON because Houston is the ghetto. Suburbs and all.
