“The Chinese government took away people's guns to prevent them rising up,” said Zhou Xiaozheng, a sociologist at Renmin University. “Do you think they would be able to demolish peoples' homes if they hadn’t?" he said, referring to the government's broad right to seize private property.
Exactly! They understand the purpose of the 2nd Amendment better than most Americans.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I worked for a Japanese company in the Mexican border town, Reynosa,Tamps

Whenever we had "younger" Japanese visitors come to visit we would try to take them to visit a shooting range in Texas.
Most of them were a little skeptical at first because they had never even seen a real gun in person, let alone shot one.
Most of them enjoyed the shooting experience and wanted to go the next time they visited the U.S.
Of course, they all wanted pictures to show their friends back home. :lol:
BTW, it is illegal to sell toy guns in Japan.

They have some very nice looking gun replicas that are made in Japan, but
they don't sell them over there. MGC makes some quality looking fake guns.
BTW, you can't own a Samurai sword in Japan unless it is registered.
