Guns make Asian women in America safe and happy again

Since I was little, I've been asked, "Would you rather have been born a man?" Before I graduated from the college, I answered "Yes" because I would feel safer if I had a strong body. After I started to work, I changed to say "no", telling people, "Men are typically more financially stressed than women."

Many years later, I realized that women will be happier in a civilized society. Children's society is relatively less civilized than the adults' one. Having a strong body can protect me from bullying. As I stepped into the adults' world, people behave under the rules, so as long as the society is in order, enjoy being a woman.

That's true in China, but not in America, especially in its big cities. After I moved to one of them, Cleveland, Ohio, I lost a lot of freedom as a woman due to the high crime rate here. As my diameter of activity is limited, anger, frustration and fear conquered me for a while. I smile less to the passers-by and dress sloppy, trying to look mean and poor in order to avoid being robbed. A confined woman is not happy.

In America, Asians are the easy targets of violent crimes for several reasons. First, many Chinese came to this country with student visas that don't allow us to carry guns legally. My husband bought me a pepper spray, which made me feel safer. But in a critical situation, it's not powerful enough. Second, over the last decade, within Obama's administration, political correctness has influenced American mainstream media to downplay the violent crimes. As for the police system, according to the analysis by Congressional Research service, (https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44259.pdf) the “Ferguson Effect" has played a key role in changing the behavior of the police.

Considering the political correctness, they hesitated to arrest, which emboldened criminals and increased the crime rate, while the statistical number of violent crimes dropped. As a result, people have a false sense of security, especially those new-arrived Asian women. They dress nicer than the indigenous and are not on the alert for the approaching danger. Third, East Asian countries are safer than America. Without guns, people still live in a relatively safe environment. So many new Asian immigrants don't think carrying guns is necessary until they are offended.

An American social activist Mark Dice did an social experimental video on YouTube, asking the students on campus in San Diego to sign a petition for repealing the Second Amendment and telling them to trust the police system and the government. Most of the Asian students signed without doubt. Some of them agreed that banning guns can prevent tragedies like Sandy Hook.

The media focuses too much on the negative side of guns. Some people almost forget guns can protect physically weak people from violence, such as women and seniors.

Excitingly, a Chinese lady, a seafood store owner in Atlanta, Georgia told the world that people should own guns, and we Asians, especially Asian women are not easy game. She rushed out of the bedroom and shot the three black burglars invading her house with the handgun she just got one month earlier. The police arrived ten minutes later after she called 911. If her husband didn't buy her a gun, the result would definitely be different. The video of the gun-fighting has gone viral on almost all the major media in the world, slapping the face of YG for his racially offensive rap song "Meet the Flockers"  that teaches losers how to rob Chinese neighborhoods. She looked agile, brave, calm, and decisive in the video. She reminds me of Bruce Lee, who beat giant western guys into submission with Kung Fu and destroyed the stereotype of "East Asian Sick Men" for Chinese.

The government cannot take the guns away from decent people, because we need guns to protect our lives and possessions. I believe with guns, women in America will be safe and happy again.
