What's even sadder is that he cites an instance of the government murdering nonviolent protestors as a reason citizens should not have guns.

Yes, because what idiot would want to reduce America's world-beating 40,000 gun deaths per year?

HK's homicide rate is almost 20 times lower than the USA's. To catch up with the US murder rate, adjusted for population, the HK police will need to kill about another 350 protestors for this year.
