A thriving black market in guns in the police state of China...
Firearm black market thrives in China as experts call for overhaul of laws - Global Times
Gun trading crimes have become increasingly hard to detect, as traders often communicate in code in online chat rooms and disguise their online gun stores as hardware or toy shops, said experts.
-----------------
Online trading has also expanded in scope as guns can now be easily delivered to different regions, and experienced sellers can separate guns into different parts and deliver them separately to avoid suspicion during security checks, Ruan Qilin, a professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times.
--------
From 2011 to 2015, authorities prosecuted more than 9,000 cases of illegal manufacturing or trading replica guns or air guns involving more than 80,000 suspects, the People's Daily reported in late November.
