Man arrested for selling Mini gun shaped key chain police: identified as a gun

"I've never hurt anyone, and I've never said I can't sell it."

On July 31 this year, the man was taken from his home in Fujian Province by Anshan police in Liaoning Province. According to the detention notice received by his family, he was detained by Tiexi public security branch of Liaoning Anshan Public Security Bureau for suspected illegal trading in guns.

The man's lover, Ms. Cheng (pseudonym), told VOA that what they sold were Mini gun shaped Keyrings, which were mainly used for collection, with prices ranging from several hundred yuan: "although it has the firing function, it can be fired, but we have not made any gunpowder ammunition and so on. It is a small key chain pendant for collection."

Ms. Cheng said that a few years ago, her husband brought back a mini gun shaped key chain abroad, found a domestic OEM factory for copying and processing, and sold it online. The key chain is 4cm long, about half the size of the middle finger. It is only used as an ornament for collection and trading, and no injury has ever occurred.

"Maybe we sell them to the people below, and sometimes they make" ammunition ". The so-called ammunition is led in by the things inside the gun. The composition is the same as that of the match head." Ms. Cheng told reporters.

In Ms. Cheng's opinion, this kind of imitation gun key chain has no social harm, far less harmful than a knife or bow and arrow. Sometimes the so-called "ammunition" made by dealers is a dud. Ms. Cheng also said that at the end of August 2015, the local police had inspected the key chain and told that there was no problem selling the product as a key chain.

"When we lived in Xiamen before, the police station and the National Security Bureau checked this thing. After checking, they gave it back to us. They didn't say that it could not be sold or how it would be."

Mini gun shaped key chain can pierce thin iron barrel with one shot

However, a video on Sina Weibo that demonstrates the power of "mini gun shaped Keychain" has attracted more attention recently. The video shows that under certain conditions, this gun shaped key chain can be shot through a thin iron barrel.

Ms. Cheng was also puzzled by the fact that she and her husband were both Fujian people. Why was her husband taken away by the police in Liaoning Province.

Yang Weihua, a lawyer representing the case, said in an interview with the voice of China: "during the investigation, Liaoning police found that there was a northeast man buying and selling guns, which was not directly related to the Fujian man. It was found that the Northeast man had a deal, which was one of the links in a gun shaped key chain sale. "

Dispute on the standard of gun identification caused by 4cm gun shaped key chain

Lawyer Yang Weihua said that he had just taken over the case and had met the suspect. The substantive issues of this case are decided by the court. However, what is worthy of our attention in this case is how large a gun can be called a gun: "in recent years, the imitators have caused certain disputes in the society. In general, the issue of whether the standard of 1.8 Joule / square centimeter for guns is reasonable, and whether the standards involved are reasonable. The shape of the gun involved in this case can be called a gun. "

Lawyer Yang Weihua believes that although according to the law, the key chain of the gun has reached the standard of 1.8 joules / square centimeter, the diameter of the key chain is only 4cm, so it can not be grasped at all. The standard of gun identification should be changed when it adapts to the specific circumstances of the case.

"The total length of the gun involved in this case is only 4 cm, and its bullet is less than 2 mm. Whether such a small thing can be called a gun or not, it is a question worthy of discussion if the standard of 1.8 is applied mechanically. There is also a question of whether the standard for calculating the muzzle ratio itself is scientific. " Lawyer Yang Weihua.

Lawyer Yang Weihua also said that according to relevant regulations, the caliber of a gun is usually no more than 20 mm, but this regulation only defines the upper limit of the caliber, not the lower limit. There is also some controversy about whether too small a caliber can be defined as a "gun".

Lawyer Qiao Feng has represented a number of gun related cases. In his opinion, the key to evaluating the case is whether the gun shaped key chains sold by Fujian men are dangerous enough to cause death or injury.

"Because only when two standards and one result are met can the criminal responsibility of gun related crimes be investigated. The two criteria are that 1.8 joules and emitter can meet the conditions of causing death or disability.

Police response: Keychain has been identified as a gun

In response to the case, late last night, the relevant responsible person of Anshan Tiexi public security bureau gave an exclusive interview with voice of China. The police issued the appraisal report of the material evidence identification center of China Criminal Police Academy. The appraisal conclusion is that the inspection material (gun shaped key chain) is a self-made pocket revolver powered by gunpowder. It belongs to non military guns and has shooting function, so it is recognized as a gun.

The person in charge of Anshan Tiexi police said that according to the relevant laws and regulations, the Fujian man involved in the case was suspected of illegal trafficking in guns. As long as they are identified as guns by authority, according to the law, the police should severely punish them.
