« on: September 21, 2009, 07:06:14 AM »
This is an interesting read from an interesting source...

I will not comment as it pretty much speaks for itself.

About 60 percent of the guns confiscated by the police were handed in by the public voluntarily, the ministry said.

Was this a gun buy back or a "crack down"?

The word "voluntary" doesn't exist in a fascist state.

I would wager advertised as a buy back, then those that brought guns were "cracked down."

The crackdown is part of the ministry's campaign to maintain public stability, as this year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Sounds like something the current resident of the White House would say.

I figured a buy back was where all the replica guns came from.  :D

I wonder how many officially sanctioned factories have "excess inventory" going out the back door.

When they transitioned from AK copies to their new service rifle design, I've gotta think a lot of the old stuff got "lost."

Perhaps as much as 90% of it!

But most likely only 17%.  =D
