#1 Iff SANDY HOOK were China, all those Kiddies + their Teachers would've been slashed + stabbed, or axed, instead of being shot - IFF CHINA + RUSSIA WERE ANY MEASURE, THE DEATH + CASUALTY TOLL WOULD ALSO LIKELY HAD BEEN MUCH MUCH HIGHER.

Yet AFAIK no one in China, Russia, or International Community - Person or Org - is calling for "Knife/Ax Control" nor to take the same away from law-abiding Citizens.

What has seemingly kept protractive serial sprees in past from routinely recurring has been a combo of STRONG NEIGBORHOOD PRESENCE, COMMUNITY WATCH, + TECH-LED EVIDENCE COLLECTION + ANALYSIS.

#2 East Turkestan was essentially a Uighur land until the Communists 'colonized' it with Han people - the same as they did with Tibet (and we did with the Sioux, etc.) In general the Uighur were subjugated and forced to abandon their culture or be oppressed; though some took advantage of the opportunity and modernized, most were rather unhappy with the situation. Various resistance movements - semi-nationalist, nationist, or Islamist - have waxed and waned, but have all been unable to make much headway against the far more powerful Beijing government. And they won't either, because East Turkestan is home of very significant natural resources and Beijing is not concerned about being gentle and nice.

#3 People who richly deserve each other. But wait, can we get some of the Uighur refugees to come to the USA? I'm sure they would add so very much to our society.
