Rare china shooting spree kills six, prompts even tighter gun controls
www.ibtimes.com/rare-china-shooting-spree-kills-six-prompts-e...Jun 24, 2013 - A shooting spree in Shanghai has officials responding with even stricter gun safety initiatives as netizens debate gun control.Six people were killed when a man in China went on a rare shooting spree at a chemical plant in Shanghai’s Baoshan district. A 62-year-old man, identified as Fan Jieming, is reportedly the person responsible for shooting and killing five people and brutally beating another to death. news agency Xinhua is saying that, prior to Fan’s shooting spree, he was involved in an altercation about the privately owned factory’s finances with a coworker at the chemical plant. Fan was reportedly the office manager at the plant, which had ceased production in mid-May as a result of pollution complaints, local news source Caixin says.Fan grabbed a tool and bludgeoned his colleague to death. Fan then returned to the factory’s staff dormitory where he had stashed a hunting gun, retrieved the weapon and fled to Shanghai’s Pudong area in an illegal taxi. Fan then killed the vehicle’s driver and used the vehicle to drive back to Baoshan, where the factory is located, killing a soldier in front of a military unit’s barracks and thus obtaining an additional gun. With both weapons, Fan made his way back to the factory and killed another three employees, including the factory’s supervisor, before being subdued by a police officer who was patrolling the area. Four other people were shot and sustained injuries.
Fan is now under police custody, and the case is still under investigation. Shooting rampages are very rare in China.. firearms for hunting purposes are already tightly controlled by officials. In addition to a hunting permit, gun owners must register for additional permission at local police stations in order to keep a hunting rifle.
Why Japan is so safe from guns - NY Daily News
www.nydailynews.com/opinion/japan-safe-guns-article-1.1223065
The last time Japan suffered a mass shooting comparable to last Friday’s murders in Newtown, Conn., was back in 1938, when a man dying of then-incurable tuberculosis murdered 30 people with a shotgun, an ax and a sword.
Japan has seen some mass homicides since then. In 1995, a terrorist organization attacked the Tokyo subway with sarin gas, murdering 13 people. In 2001, a school janitor murdered eight students with a kitchen knife. In 2008, a man murdered three people by hitting them with a truck, then stabbed four more to death.
Yet these incidents, awful as they are, illustrate the obvious truth that it is easier for most people to kill with a gun than with anything else
So Japan has very few guns, no mass murders with guns in more than 70 years and very few mass murders of any sort.
