Gee, that's odd. Chinese-Americans from Taiwan, and Asian-Americans in general are generally armed and commit fewest crimes overall in this country. You would think officials in Asian countries would take notice.

This is what the anti-gunners have in mind for us, if they think they can get away with it. Taiwan should benefit from our example, not America from theirs.
