Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China and the US were both born from armed conflict. They're now polar opposites on gun control
The People’s Republic of China was established by the Communist Party of China in 1949 after decades of bloody battles with the Nationalists. The nation was built by guns. China now has one of the strictest gun control laws in the world and saw only a few dozens of gun crimes a year despite the population that is over four times bigger than that of the U.S.
The immigrants to America expanded the frontiers to the west and protected themselves with guns. And the United States of America won its independence in the Revolutionary War between 1775 and 1873 against Great Britain. The U.S. enshrines the right to purchase, own, and carry guns in the Constitution, including military-grade assault rifles. Each year, there are hundreds of mass shootings and tens of thousands of suicides by guns.
Which country do you think is more civilized?
Read the article and think about if people should own guns and why.
