The Wall Street Journal is reporting that The People’s Republic of China is seeing an increase gun crime despite some of the strictest gun laws in the world.

From the story:

China's weapons laws are among the world's toughest. Its blanket ban on private ownership of rifles, pistols and even gun replicas is a core tenet of social policy. Still, a gun culture is taking hold.

China may be freer from gun crime than many nations, and official statistics show overall crime on a continuous down trend. Yet, these days, reports about gun crimes turn up as often as several times a week even in the tightly controlled state-run media. The reports are often brief, without much follow-up as cases progress.

As pro-gun advocates in America have pointed out for years, criminals will always find a way to get a gun and as anyone using basic logic knows, strict gun control only serves to disarm honest people.

The simple straightforward answer is – none. There is no chance an outright gun ban would be successful in America.

Really?
