I'm no expert on China but I wonder if it has to do with the "one child" policy. I have heard tell that the generation of only children are growing up spoiled rotten, the "little emperors" they are being called.
If a man loses his job, his perverted reasoning may blame the excessive spending on little children as a factor of his losing the job or as an added pressure from being unemployed.
No hard facts on that. Just an amateur theory.
"The middle-aged man opened fire with several home-made guns"
Proof positive that it's the CRIMINAL not the gun that causes violence."
Actually, the problem is private property. It is simple logic that if the man did not have a home, he could not have made the home-made gun. It is incidents like this that show why the government needs the power to take peoples' homes by eminent domain, and sell them to developers.
If China had the Kelo decision, they wouldn't have this problem.
It's all Bush's fault.
China's Constitution recognizes every citizen's right to employment. I visited Beijing this summer, and the stores were amazing. Three or four clerks in every aisle, there to "help" anyone who needed them to help select which brand of TP to buy. I have to assume that they were paid next-to-nothing (although Beijing's average annual income is almost ten times that of the more rural areas), and that they were there because of that Constitutional right. No store in their right mind would employ so many who do so little (other than chat with each other, even when someone does need help!).
That is a trademarked phrase you're using and must be recognized as such:For The ChildrenTM
That is the format on how it is supposed to be posted. Most liberal experts agree that one is encouraged to also nervously wring their hands and bite their upper-lip as they say those three words. ;-)

Let the black robed kings try to take our right to own guns. Let them try.
I was kind of wondering the same thing. For that matter, what exactly does abortion have to do with this, let alone Robert Bork?
Surely the blame for this one can be laid at the feet of the Chinese Rifle Association or perhaps a fictitious Chinese Militia Movement...

However, people best think long and hard about the federalizing of the national guard.
This President will not misuse that power, but I would never ever want a democrat, any democrat, to have that power.
We saw what happened in NO when they went door to door confiscating guns from private homeowners.
There too lies the danger of gun registration.
Thing is the government knows there are many people out there with unregistered guns and they aren't going to go quietly into that good night.
man if only the chinese goverenment would outlaw all private gun ownership this wouldnt happen
I can only imagine what the Chinese cops are going to do to this vermin. He ain't going to have the Chinese Civil Liberties Union riding in to his rescue.
They can go ahead and try something like that in my home state of WV or any state south of the Mason Dixon but they won't like what happens. It will be war and instead of guns they will be collecting bullets.
If you recall the Million Moms March against guns......those imbeciles actually had signs made up for their front window. GUN FREE HOME.
"Gee, what these people need is gun control. Oh, wait..."
yeah..isn't that what they said about London too...lol
Last time I was in China the nightly news had footage of individuals arrested for gun possession shortly before their execution. The look on their faces said,"Dead man walking"
With ~ 1 Billion Chinese, statistically you are going to have more than a few sociopaths out there. In China most of them rise up to be Communist Party officials though. :)
That is an amateur theory that could hold water. I meet monstrous kids all the time that I would consider exterminating except that their idiot parents would just create more. I agree with quality not quantity but... Bottom line: There is always an excuse available if you really are ready to go "round the bend" whether you've got a shiv or a gun.
They might as well have a "Rob Me" sign up in the yard. lol
Imagine a wuss of a husband allowing such a sign in the window of his home.
Yeah I can imagine. I'm a strong believer that much of the leftist crud we have to deal with today is a direct result of men not playing a stronger role in their families.
