    Tucker voice:“And for some reason, China, as violent and authoritarian as they are, has a lower chance of dying in a school shooting. Why is that?? Well that’s because China isn’t declaring war on the children, they’re declaring war on school. Yep, just like an edgy Student running for class President as a joke, their aim is to do away with education. They have been systematically rooting out private education and schooling. What is going on here?? School is a great thing. Private schools are even better. I should know, I went to them as well. And they were great institutions that didn’t preach a woke left destruction of everything that capitalism is doing a great job of” or some shit lmao

    What are China’s firearms laws like? I legitimately just don’t know and I trust this site. I looked into some gunpolocy.org and there was a bunch of contradictory information. Like for example:

    So like civilians aren’t allowed to own any guns except for these guns they go on to say can be privately owned under regulation? I don’t get it. Like they keep saying no civilians are allowed to own firearms at all then go on to list how civilians can apply for firearm ownership. Am I just not understanding this right or is this shit completely contradictory?

      We’d need someone who can read mandarin to go over the gun laws in the PRC.

      Not that many, and those that occur have low rates of fatality. Knives just aren’t as lethal as guns, especially when you look at some of the most infamous school shooters. The guy who shot up Sandy Hook looked to be about 125 pounds soaking wet. I kinda doubt he could have killed a single child armed with whatever knife you like. The knife attackers in London a few years ago were larger, had trained and prepared, but killed like 2 people.

        yes, knives as a weapon are far less lethal than guns, but i’m referring to deranged individuals willing to attack and kill children at all regardless of weapon.
