China’s Ominous Focus On Second Amendment<\/a><\/p>\n

The nation of China is a fascinating place. The history and culture are among the most interesting in the world to me.<\/p>\n

The government? Not so much.<\/p>\n

Luckily, I don\u2019t have to interact with what the Chinese government says or does very much. More correctly, I didn\u2019t. However, lately, Chinese state-run media outlets have\u00a0opted to pontificate<\/a>\u00a0about the\u00a0Second Amendment<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0gun control<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, to be clear, a lot of countries voice opinions on what other nations do and permit. I actually take issue with China about their human rights record, specifically the whole \u201cherding people into camps, taking their organs, and sterilizing them\u201d thing.<\/p>\n

You know, small stuff.<\/p>\n

But China is talking about the Second Amendment, a core part of who we are as a nation, and it\u2019s troubling. In particular,\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0are they so interested in American gun laws? It\u2019s not like they\u2019re that interested in American lives. If they were, they might have taken more care in trying to contain COVID-19. They might even be more open with the rest of the world in trying to find the origins of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

So instead, China is doing this for reasons that will benefit them. We, as a nation, would do well to question why.<\/p>\n

The most obvious answer, of course, is that they benefit from a divided United States. If we\u2019re arguing and debating domestic matters with such vehemence, we can\u2019t examine what they\u2019ve done and continue to do within their own borders.<\/p>\n

Further, by claiming our refusal to adopt gun control is a human rights issue, they\u2019re trying to gaslight the international community to ignore the concentration camps and eugenics taking place within their own borders.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the easy answer, and Occam’s Razor tells us that\u2019s probably the right one.\u00a0Yet Occam\u2019s Razor also assumes you have all the facts. We may not in this case.<\/p>\n

See, China and the US aren\u2019t exactly best pals. China is an aggressive military power that is trying desperately to become a superpower. Arguably, they\u2019re close. Plus, no one is expecting them\u00a0to be a peaceful superpower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That means the odds are that sooner or later, the United States and China will clash. If that clash becomes a war, we can\u2019t rule out the possibility of invasion. It\u2019s better to fight in someone else\u2019s yard than your own. That means we must at least consider that any contingency plans include the possibility of invading the US.<\/p>\n

After World War II, a story popped up that Japanese General Yamamoto warned his people that if they invaded the US, there would be \u201ca rifle behind every blade of grass.\u201d The story appears to be apocryphal, unfortunately, but the sentiment expressed is certainly valid. As an armed society, we have the means to assist our military in repelling invaders. Plus, since the popular AR-15 uses the same ammunition and magazines as the M-4\/M-16, we can easily be resupplied from military stores if need be.<\/p>\n

In light of this, China\u2019s opposition to gun ownership in the United States takes on a frightening tone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about discord among the American citizenry, but about hopefully pushing the United States to weaken itself so that if an invasion were to take place we would be less able to repel it.<\/p>\n

While American gun control activists may actually agree with the sentiment expressed via China\u2019s state-run media, even they should at least question why China is so concerned about a domestic issue. They should be concerned that Chinese interest has less to do with concerns about American lives and more with destabilizing our nation or worse.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, too few are interested in doing anything but echoing Chinese media whenever convenient and never questioning why they care about this at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
