Why are citizens still allowed to own guns?

In our country, the main thing is to respect the customs and habits of ethnic minorities.

In our country, ordinary citizens are not allowed to own guns, except for military police and special professional personnel specified by law. But our country’s ethnic policy is to respect the customs and habits of ethnic minorities. For example, in the southwest region, two ethnic minorities are allowed to own guns. They are the Basha Miao ethnic group in Congjiang County, Guizhou Province and the Baiku Yao ethnic group in Nandan County, Guangxi Province.

The Basha Miao people have always had a tradition of hunting with guns. In order to develop the economy and tourism, the local area retains the custom of Basha Miao people holding guns, allowing tourists to experience more of the Basha Miao customs.

The white trousers Yao people live in Nandan County, Guangxi and Libo County, Guizhou. They are named after the men wear knee-length white trousers. Like the Basha Miao people, they have a traditional hunting custom with guns. In order to develop economic tourism, Baikuyao is also allowed to perform with guns during national festivals and to display national customs to tourists.
