Why the Chinese Demand US Gun Control
Chinese State Media Demands US Citizens Be Disarmed ...The official Chinese government news agency, Xinhua, has demanded the US immediately adopt stricter gun control measures to reduce the number of firearms the US populace is permitted to possess. The Chinese state-controlled media's statement, titled "Innocent Blood Demands No Delay for US Gun Control," is primarily focused on the Newtown tragedy in which 26 Americans were killed by a mad gunman. Twenty of the victims were young children. The Chinese government stated, "Their blood and tears demand no delay for the U.S. gun control." – Breitbart
Dominant Social Theme: The Chinese are rightfully concerned with US violence.
Free-Market Analysis: The Chinese have weighed in ... Breitbart is reporting that the Chinese government is concerned about US gun violence (see above excerpt). This is notable because it tends to support certain dominant social themes we have noted before.
We do believe that the Chinese, like the Russians and the rest of the BRICs, are part of an effort to create global governance. The British – the City of London being an integral part of this larger effort – virtually ran China and India once upon a time.
While British influence has eroded among the civilian population, chances are the power elite behind past depredations remains quite influential with the political and military class.
There are suppositions that Western powers wanted communism to come to China in the form of Mao because that helped crush China's unique culture and set the stage for the current quasi-capitalism that now engulfs China.
And as we have pointed out recently, both China and the US are converging on a new kind of sociopolitical and economic system that may mimic Germany's National Socialism more than any other political paradigm.
For this reason, we're not surprised top Chinese officials are calling for more gun control in the US. This suits the Chinese system, which is intended, we have no doubt, to more closely merge with European and North American systems over time.
The availability of guns is an impediment to totalitarian, fascism or whatever else the power elite has in mind. Here's more from the Breitbart article:
The Chinese government states:
"The past six months have seen enough shooting rampages in the United States. Just three days ago, three people were shot dead at a shopping mall in Oregon. Two weeks ago, a football player shot his girlfriend dead and then committed suicide. Five months ago, 12 people were killed and 58 wounded in a shooting spree at a midnight screening of a Batman film in Colorado."
The government went on to express a strong dislike of the National Rifle Association while also attacking the Republican Party as somehow complicit in the violence. Conversely, the article heaps praise on the Democratic Party ...
The current Chinese government, the communist People's Republic of China, was established in a revolution led by Mao Zedong, who killed an estimated 40-70 million people with starvation, executions, and re-education camps.
This last point is a very good one. If you are interested in the results of an unarmed populace, look no further than China's Great Leap Forward under Mao.
Whether it is Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Russia, an unarmed population always invites the retaliation of tyrants. And we can also see that gun control does little to reduce violence statistically. Australian officials have been busy disarming their populace but violence is not down appreciably, as it is only law-abiding citizens that allow themselves to be disarmed. Criminals remain armed.
For those who believe as we do in directed history, the specter of aggressive efforts at gun confiscation is not a good sign. Those who are engaged in the promotion of world government are providing us with clear illustrations that they are willing to shed blood to attain it. These individuals and their surrogates practice the philosophy of "the end justifies the means."
But just as importantly, if not more so, the opinion of Chinese officials regarding the positives of US gun control provide us with an insight as to how closely aligned US and Chinese leaders really are when it comes to sociopolitical and economic policies.
The world is being prepared for global government, in our view. The US is being brought down while other countries like the BRICs are being brought up.
The idea that China poses an existential threat to the West is no more convincing, in our view, than the idea that Islam is implacably opposed to Christianity and that a religious war is in the offing.
Conclusion: These are memes of the elite. They are phantasmagoria designed to distract us from the truth that is both more mundane and perhaps more dangerous.

While it certainly may be an expression of the power elite to insinuate itself into the global mindset, I believe it is more of a tactical move than stretegic. The Chinese are historically nothing if not pragmatic. Who is massively indebted to them? Who is devaluing the dollars they hold as fast as possible through the Fed antics? Who has massive resources than can be turned over or taken in lieu of settlement? Who would rise up to defend the national resources of this country given over by an appeasing Government and indeed become a nation with "a gun behind every blade of grass"?
I think the answers to those questions could be a better explanation of the elite noise coming from that Chinese Gentleman. Just my point of view.

I could only score the above article with a 2 1/2 because although well-written and non-sensational, it is not news. It is bleeding obvious!
An old Pole I was talking to recently also pointed out the obvious:
Just one man with a gun poses a far greater threat to his enemies than 100 without.
He remembers his Dad "scoring" one of the Germans' guns early in the atrocities against Poland. He slit the German's throat and then used the gun to very good effect to help his friends get guns, too.
But if I was our Owners, I'd worry more about the very simple recipes all over the Net as to how to make explosives from the simplest things... .

The 17th Century Ruler of Japan, Emperor Go-Mizunoo, forbid the possession of a "Samurai Sword" to only his soldiers. Joseph Stalin even tried to take all the knives away from his people. And I use the term "His People" very loosely.

As we move closer to the end of this evil beastly system we will see more of this. The one who rules the world at this time has lots of other bad laws to pass.
The hope of mankind does not lie with in himself there must be a higher power to control the wicked one.
If you want to see how it will end, then I invite you to come on by our web site and see what great things our Heavenly Father has in store for those who will turn to Him.

The heinous acts at Sandy Hook is yet another example that Gov is totally incapable of protecting citizens, yet they beat the same drum. Gun control is about as logical as banning the automobile to prevent vehicular fatalities.
It isn't too hard to understand the neanderthal carrying the biggest stick, not wanting anyone else to have a stick. To forcibly strip anyone of their ability to defend themselves is treasonous indeed.
Every time these atrocities happen, firearm and ammunition sales and concealed carry permits soar, and Gov opening its mouth only dumps a tanker load of fuel on the fire. Thank goodness for the sanity of responsible citizens pushing back against the insanity.

Guns don't kill people. Governments kill people.
From 'Innocents Betrayed' (Click to view link):
"What happens when self-defense is against the law? What happens when the protectors become the predators? What happens when innocence are betrayed? Imagine that 2/3s of all Americans disappear. 170 million people. Or that the countries of Germany, France and Spain are virtually wiped off the map. 170 million people, gone. In the 20th century, that's how many innocents were slaughtered, tortured, starved, mutilated, worked to death, bayoneted, hanged, annihilated, at the hands of their governments. They had no means to defend themselves."

lest we forget, there are well reported cracks within the socioecomic structure in china... we need to repeat, reinforce the fact that chinses factories are hellholes that have to place nets around thier buildings because of workers committing suicide by jumping; and do not forget reports of serious multiple deaths and injuries fron knife attacks in Cina, particularly directed at innocent chinese school children; use the tactics of the elites ,... .repeat the TRUTH often over and over,,,truth can win over lies in this manner. China has enacted onerous 'knife' laws just prior to these knife atrocities... what does this mean? We must be the anti elites. All for one; and one for all in this fight; or we get taken away one by one.

I got an e-mail from an non-American reader of the Daily Bell asking for clarification on what a "4473 form" is (I keep forgetting about the international scope of Daily Bell readers). My apologies. Let me post my reply here for others.
The 4473 is the Federal Government Form that Americans must fill out when purchasing a firearm (1968 Gun Control Act) from a dealer with a Federal Firearms License. The form records a great deal of personal information about the buyer as a record of the sale, but is supposedly not used to register the firearm in any government database. The paper this form used to be printed on was yellow which is why many old-timers still refer to it as the "yellow form," though they have changed it to white to make photocopying easier and clearer.
I hope that clarifies the issue...

@Camigda
I for one am very glad that Oathkeepers exists and hope that its membership continues to increase. Whether or not it will make a difference in the end is open to question. It is in an "emergency" that people will most immediately need their guns, and that is when the real mass gun confiscation will begin. On a normal day in New Orleans before Katrina a gun would rarely be needed. But after is when they went door to door consifcating them.
It is in tiny incremental tweaks of procedure and sudden "emergencies" that Oathkeepers may be outmanuvered. The choice will be war on the citizens or war on the government, no middle ground will be allowed.

The Second Amendment was inserted so that one could not easily establish a totalitarian government. Why should we give up what was given to us by honest men instead of politicans who only want a few to rule? They being the few elite who has determined it is their right to govern and rule.

Wow, where to start? As an ex-police officer I can tell you they don't teach suicide-missions at the academy, and no Police Chief in his or her right mind would put their officers in that position. As a military vet we took an oath, that includes not disarming the citizens of our country. Our service may have ended but our oath remains.
To those interested, please google Oathkeepers to get a good gauge of their opinions/views. Also, please read our Bill Of Rights as it pertains to our Constitution. Gun ownership is our natural right predating the Constitution, as a natural right it is not given to us by our government and cannot be taken away by our government. It would be an act of treason by government authorities to take that from us.
Any unlawful order is an illegal order and cannot be enforced. No doubt some may try.

except... since Australia invoked gun control, there has been a very dramatic decrease in homicides/gun related incidents. You only discredit yourself when you write like this. Do you REALLY believe that an armed population is ANY drag on the .001%? right.. popguns against tanks, troops with vests and helmets.. nonsense! Targeted 'take-outs' by martyrs is about the only realist response... as I have said MANY times... IF YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED with a terminal illness... don't just fade away... go out with a bang

Do Gun Bans Reduce Violent Crime? Ask the Aussies and Brits

Actually, if the Australian Bureau of Criminology can be believed, Americans would be insane to concern themselves with what non-Americans think about American gun rights.
In 2002 — five years after enacting its gun ban — the Australian Bureau of Criminology acknowledged there is no correlation between gun control and the use of firearms in violent crime. In fact, the percent of murders committed with a firearm was the highest it had ever been in 2006 (16.3 percent), says the D.C. Examiner.
Even Australia’s Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault — Australia’s equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia’s violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
Moreover, Australia and the United States — where no gun-ban exists — both experienced similar decreases in murder rates:
Between 1995 and 2007, Australia saw a 31.9 percent decrease; without a gun ban, America’s rate dropped 31.7 percent.
During the same time period, all other violent crime indices increased in Australia: assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault — Australia’s equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia’s violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
At the same time, U.S. violent crime decreased 31.8 percent: rape dropped 19.2 percent; robbery decreased 33.2 percent; aggravated assault dropped 32.2 percent.
Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women.

Well, that makes the plot of the original script for the new "Red Dawn" movie more believable now. I still like that humorous line from the older version.

Oh yeah, it was me :)
