After a brazen terrorist attack at the train station in the city of Kunming, China removed a decades-long ban on guns four months ago and began issuing firearms to police by the thousands in response to terrorist attacks. Many Chinese have compared the Kunming attacks to America's Sept. 11, because of the heightened security it has wrought. China has seen an alarming spate of police shootings, since the government issued thousands of guns to officers. (Photo by {William Wan}/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
