    LA Times article about Chinese Immigrants owning firearms

    Tony Gao emerges from a gun store in City of Industry, Calif., with something he could have never gotten in his native China: a handgun license.


    ".. Asian Americans have the lowest rates of gun ownership among all demographic groups, according to exit polls conducted during the 2008 presidential election. And a 2016 survey of Asian American registered voters by APIAVote found that 77 percent wanted stricter gun control laws..."

    An interesting article about mainland Chinese immigrants and the growing interest in firearms in that community.

    And we should care because?...These people came from a communist country that loves to strip people of their rights.

      What? Didn't you get the message?
      People from other countries are coming here to enrich our lives with their "Better than our's" culture. You know, so we can be just like them. In their communist country. with their Stalinist laws. And their oppressive lifestyle. And their mistreatment of little girls. And their vast opportunities. And, wait,
      They are coming here to get away from their Crappie existence in their Crappie country!
      Hmmmm.

            I do some work at a local gun store in OC, in the last 3 months the number of Asians(Korean and Chinese names) buying guns has been incredible, typical sale was a Glock19 and a M&P AR

              The legal immigrants in my office, from many different countries, are constantly telling me how the U.S. is inferior to their countries and how we should change to be like them. I'm so far able to keep from suggesting they go back to their superior countries.

                Yep, ask them why aren't they there then? GTFO otherwise.

                    Which begs the question (All together now....) 'Why are you HERE?"
                    Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

                      You could state it politely as a question as why they left if it was better.
                      We had an electrician from Poland who would bad mouth everything American.
                      When asked if everything was so great there, why did he come here? He would shutup until the next time...

                        Interesting, for Asians make up at least a quarter of the gun owners I know or dealt with. Then again, it's L.A. Times.

                          One time at a gun store employee told me how a Chinese lady who was a recent immigrant had just come into the shop. She was taking pictures of their gun racks in near tears. When he asked her why she was so excited, she pointed to the guns and responded, "This is freedom."

                            +1 for Gun Effects. And for legal immigrants exercising their 2A rights.

                              How about some of you Asians get together and let the LA Times know what you think about their racist and incorrect reporting?
                              Could make for some fun times at the Times!
