SHANGHAI (Reuters) – The United States should learn from China and “genuinely” protect human rights by restricting gun ownership, an editorial in a widely read state-run Chinese newspaper said on Friday.
The editorial in the Global Times newspaper was published after a massacre at a high school in Florida last week, in which 17 students and staff were killed, reignited a long-running debate about gun control in the United States.
“Washington has been pointing an accusing finger at other countries over human rights … However, more Americans have been killed by gunfire in the country than American soldiers being killed in all U.S. wars,” the Global Times said.
“Gun ownership in China is strictly regulated, which helps reduce gun-related crimes and deaths. The U.S. should learn from China and genuinely protect human rights,” it said.

Thanks for the info I just wrote my state representative yesterday on this subject.
Everyone know the NRA is a paramilitary group with terrorist tendencies. Please, don’t give me that “they’re a bunch of concerned citizens” crap. Guns are evil! Spock is (or is it will be?) right!
hope you never have to defend yourself.
Before taking everyone’s right to defend themselves away, first ban the use of psychotropic drugs on school age kids. See how many shootings there are after that. It’s alarming how many parents actually want to have their kids on medication.
Bertha, that’s a pretty broad brush you’re using on 15 million Americans. As a life member of the NRA, I am neither part of a paramilitary group, nor do I have terrorist tendencies. I am a peaceful man seeking peaceful resolutions to these issues. Please explain how an inanimate object can be imbued with ‘evil’. Evil is the person who desires to take innocent human life….
Stupid is as stupid does.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. China is giving the U.S, tips on gun control. Hey China, my idea of gun control is the close pattern on your chest when you attempt to challenge US.
