    In China, possession of firearms is prohibited, unless you are a member of the military or police.

    Which is awesome, because that means mass killings of the scale noted a few posts above won't happen there.

    My point is not so much "Yay, guns!" as it is the fact violence is an awful part of our reality. Guns aren't any more a magic pill to make violence disappear than they are a primary catalyst for human-against-human violence. Guns are, however, a convenient tool to demonize.
