China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated

I am not familiar with other history, but this part I do know.

Japan invaded China in 1931 when China was in a bloody warlord period, virtually each province had a huge army and most villages had armed militia to fend off bandits. The central government's influence was next to null. What gun control are we talking about?

The war between China and Japan ended when WII ended at 1945. During this period 1931-1945, about 20 million Chinese died due to war and starvation etc.

Right after the surrender of the Japs, China plunged into a bloody civil war which ended in the early 1950 and the communists took over the whole China.

Immediately after, in Oct. 1950, the Chinese was again into another bloody war with American - Korean war which ended in 1953. During the war, millions of Chinese soldiers were involved.

The real gun control was established by the communists in 1950 as a way to ward off you called "political dissidents" but really illegal combatants and militia from previous government, and they had guns, lots of them. The gun control was aimed to disarm these people and stabilize the nation.

Only if you call lies facts.

Pro-gun or not, don't use lies to support your point.
