Interesting and revealing.What I find interesting is the objection of 2A supporters to the term, when "assault weapons" was used by the shooting industry for many years to promote the sales and use of the AR15 and other military-type guns.
I also think it's ridiculous to insist that the AR15 is not an assault rifle, when it is a M16 manufactured without full-auto capability. And even that distinction effectively goes away with the binary triggers now available.

Unfortunately, "much like the book 1984" some people will not take the information as a lesson or warning against tyrannical leadership , but as an inspirational instruction manual.The trouble is, you are actually making a very strong case for gun control. According to the article that you linked to, there were only two mass killings with knives in China during the last 18 months.
There were three public mass killings with guns in the US just during the month of August, and the total number of dead and wounded was much greater.
