Firearms and gun ownership have been highly controlled in China since the

establishment of the Republic of China.

The primary statute concerned with the regulation of firearms is Firearms-Control Law. This law has been implemented since October 1, 1996. The Criminal Law governs

all criminal offenses that are related to firearms and gun violence in China. The

Criminal Law is responsible for giving harsh penalties for violating gun control.

Illegal possession of any gun is punishable by criminal detention, police supervision, or a fixed-term

imprisonment of up to seven years. So please, keep your gun out of China to

avoid any harsh penalties.

Illegally manufacturing, transporting, mailing, trading, or storing military guns,

non-military guns, military bullets, grenades, or any other explosive devices

that might cause damage is punishable by law.

A fixed-term imprisonment of ten years or more, life imprisonment, or death is the punishment. The same punishments are

imposed for robbery or theft of firearms and/or using guns to commit robbery.

There are three categories of “work units” in which civilian use of firearms is

permitted:

Sports units that specifically engage in shooting sports, and also for profit shooting ranges, that are set up with the legal approval of provincial

government authorities.

Hunting grounds that are set up with the legal approval of provincial government

authorities.

Individual herdsmen living in pastoral areas and hunters are allowed to apply to county-level public security bodies in their

area for getting permission for carrying hunting rifles. To do so, they should

present their processed hunting licenses, where applicable, and identification cards.

Civilian gun ownership is highly restricted to authorized, non-individual entities, such as sporting organizations,

authorized hunting, wildlife and reserves protection organizations.

There is a national system that prevents people from going state to state to

purchase guns because that person was denied access to one in their state. These China gun control laws are of the utmost

importance in Chinese society as they help avoid gun violence.

China is more thorough in including relevant information into the national

database. People’s mental health records, if available should be included into the

criminal background check system.

This is because if this information is available, most of the tragic shootings may not take

place. Tragedies increase when more people carry guns. Gun control would be in the best

interest for all. Having stricter gun laws means there will be fewer deaths. Statistics have

shown that thousands of people are murdered with guns.

China is a very safe country, even in cities like Beijing. Of course, you should

still exercise some caution, but don’t worry about getting shot or needing to defend yourself. The likeness is small

unless you put yourself into risky situations.
