Li Anlong is a mechanical enthusiast in Xiamen, and he has a deep interest in mechanical manufacturing. He had some gun-shaped keychains on the internet, but he didn't know that it would lead to a misunderstanding with "gun trafficking."
One day in 2018, police suddenly appeared at Li Anlong's home, took him away and restricted his personal freedom. Since then, his life has changed completely, and his family has been plunged into a nightmare.
All this because of a simple gun-shaped keychain. Li Anlong was wrongfully accused of being a criminal who "sold guns", which was a heavy blow. He tried to explain it clearly, but no one wanted to listen to his arguments.
His life was severely affected by this, and his family was torn apart as a result. This story teaches us that in the age of the internet, any seemingly ordinary behavior can have unintended consequences.
We need to be more cautious about the online world and avoid going astray. At the same time, we also need to give more understanding and support to those who have been wronged.
Li Anlong felt caught off guard, he was just an ordinary person, how could he suddenly be handcuffed and taken to the police station? He was anxious, he had never experienced anything like this, and as he sat on a stool in the interrogation room, his hands trembling unconsciously.
The policeman comforted him and said, "Don't be nervous, take it easy." As soon as you say what you know, we'll get you home as soon as possible. "They offered him a glass of warm water in the hope of relieving his tension.
It was an unexpected blow, and Li Anlong hopes to clear his innocence as soon as possible. He is willing to cooperate with the investigation, hoping to prove his innocence.
The police officer began to ask Li about the sale of "gun-shaped keychains". Li Anlong sat on a stool and recalled the past scenes, and suddenly, his mind was fixed on 2012.
That year, he saw a gun-shaped keychain of only 4 centimeters on a foreign **, which was very beautifully made, including all the parts such as the bolt, the safe, and the trigger, which was almost a miniature version of the real firearm.
Li Anlong has been obsessed with machinery since he was a child, so he immediately bought this keychain. However, he didn't expect that this beautiful keychain would later bring himself a prison disaster.
At a drinking party, a friend noticed this delicate little object and exclaimed: "Brother Long, what kind of little revolver do you get!" It's exquisite! ”
Li Anlong took the small revolver keychain he had just purchased from abroad to show his friends, explaining its internal mechanical structure and the real bolt and insurance design, and couldn't help but sigh at its exquisiteness.
At this time, a friend who shared his preferences quietly asked, "Brother Long, this is so real, it won't be illegal, right?" Hearing this, Li Anlong smiled and patted his friend's shoulder, saying that he had already tried, even if he loaded the projectile, he couldn't even break the can, so he didn't have to worry about breaking the law at all.
Li Anlong's words dispelled the other party's doubts, and his eyes flashed with golden light, and he decided to also have a gun-shaped keychain like this. So, he asked Li Anlong to buy it on his behalf, and promised to pay a commission as a reward when the goods arrived.
Soon, Li Anlong bought the same small revolver pendant for this friend and received the commission as promised. After the news spread, friends suggested that he imitate this keychain and sell it online, which would satisfy his hobby and earn extra money.
However, Li Anlong did not take it seriously. But when his father was seriously ill and hospitalized, and the financial pressure increased dramatically, he decided to try this way of making money.
In 2013, Li Anlong successfully dismantled a gun-shaped keychain that he bought from the Internet, and remembered all its mechanical principles and design construction. Subsequently, he found his business partner Xu Jianghua and asked him to reproduce it.
Li Anlong explained to Xu Jianghua that this keychain is only half the length of the middle finger, lightweight, made of titanium alloy, only about 30 grams, and is very suitable for use as an ornament.
Due to the strong market demand, Li Anlong believes that the sales of this product will not be a problem. After hearing this, Xu Jianghua thought that this was a profitable project, so he immediately contacted a friend in a hardware processing factory for production.
Mr. Liang, I have a project here, I don't know if your company is interested in cooperating. We have a friend who bought a metal keychain in the shape of the left *** abroad, and he hopes that we can help reproduce it and sell it.
We have prepared the relevant drawings and information, but we just need your company to help with production. Are you interested in considering this project?
Liang Feng sent Xu Jianghua a batch of samples, and Xu Jianghua was very satisfied, so he gave them to Li Anlong. Li Anlong was also full of praise for this batch of products and decided to sell them at 200 yuan each.
He used WeChat Moments and e-commerce platforms to promote, attracting many buyers. In order to increase sales, he also launched a ** campaign, where you can get homemade projectiles away when you buy them.
This projectile is a rice-grain-sized gunpowder pellet made from gunpowder inside a smashing cannon, and the keychain makes a "pop" sound every time the user pulls the trigger, which is very interesting and especially popular with firearms enthusiasts.
After a period of time, a potential customer named Guo Jia took the initiative to contact Li Anlong and expressed his hope to become Li Anlong's downline. Guo Jia promised to work hard to expand the market for this gun-shaped keychain, and in return, Li Anlong would need to pay Guo Jia a commission of dozens of yuan for each successful transaction.
Li Anlong believes that this is a cooperation that is beneficial to both parties, so he readily agrees. After the start of the collaboration, sales of gun-shaped keychains increased, and Li Anlong's income doubled, not only paying off the debt owed for his father's treatment, but also a considerable savings.
However, when Li Anlong and his wife were about to change their house, the police with an arrest warrant came to their home and took Li Anlong back to the police station as a suspect.
Mr. Lee's family tried to stop the police, but the police issued arrest warrants, which would be considered obstruction of official business if they were forcibly stopped. Li Anlong's wife received the arrest warrant from the police, but the crime she saw made her feel apocalyptic despair - suspected of illegal *** crime!
3. Redress of Grievances for Husband, Li Anlong's Wife Hires a Lawyer to Defend Li Anlong's wife hired a professional lawyer to defend her husband, because the lawyer, after learning more about what happened, believes that Li Anlong's behavior is not sufficient to constitute the crime of illegal firearms trafficking.
The document issued by the Ministry of Public Security stipulates that the definition of a firearm is that the muzzle specific kinetic energy is greater than or equal to 18 joules square centimeter. After professional testing, the muzzle kinetic energy of the "gun-shaped keychain" sold by Li Anlong and others exceeded the national regulations, and it should theoretically be regarded as a firearm.
However, in the level of legal effect in China, the effect of the "superior law" is higher than that of the "lower law", and the effect of the "new law" is higher than that of the "old law". China's "Firearms Control Law" clearly stipulates that firearms are all kinds of firearms powered by gunpowder or compressed gas, using tubular instruments to fire metal projectiles or other substances, which are enough to cause people to lose consciousness.
In the understanding of ordinary people, if an item is to be identified as a "firearm", three conditions must be met: first, it must either be powered by gunpowder or compressed air; The second is that it is capable of firing bullets of metal or other materials from a tubular device; The third is that it has the ability to injure people, and at the slightest point, to temporarily lose consciousness.
If this criterion is followed, the "gun-shaped keychain" sold by Li Anlong et al. cannot actually be recognized as a "firearm" as defined in the Firearms Control Law.
Because this 30-gram left*** can't even break a can, let alone injure or lose consciousness. Because of this, Li Anlong's family came to the court with confidence, hoping to clear his grievances.
In the end, however, the court's verdict disappointed them.
1.On June 4, 2019, the Intermediate People's Court of Anshan City, Liaoning Province, rendered a first-instance judgment in the case of Li Anlong et al. for manufacturing, selling, and mailing firearms.
The court held that the circumstances of Li Anlong and others illegally manufacturing, selling, and mailing guns were quite serious, but because these guns were only used for decoration and did not cause harm to society, the three were sentenced to 3 to 4 years in prison.
However, Lee's family was unhappy with the verdict and decided to appeal. The news that Li Anlong was sentenced to four years in prison for a "gun-shaped keychain" has aroused widespread concern and heated discussions in the society, and many netizens have stood on the side of supporting Li Anlong's innocence.
At the same time, Li Anlong's defense lawyer posted a meaningful news on his social **: "If the court wants to shoot Li Anlong for a keychain, it is recommended to use this gun to execute."
If he can't die, let the defendant go home.

The definition of "firearm" in Chinese law is not exhaustive enough, and it mainly relies on relevant documents of the Ministry of Public Security. For example, according to the "List of Main Parts and Performance Characteristics of Firearms", the diameter of the inner hole of an article to be considered a "firearm" must be met. 4 mm caliber.
However, the inner hole diameter of the "gun-shaped keychain" manufactured and sold by Li Anlong and others was only 2 millimeters, and the defense lawyer defended it on this ground. But officials say there is also the word "etc." in the regulations, so a 2-millimeter bore diameter could also be considered a "firearm" in certain circumstances.
In this case, there was a heated discussion about the kinetic energy ratio of the "gun-shaped keychain". According to the provisions of the "General Technical Conditions for Forensic Scientific Gun and Bullet Speedometry" issued by the Ministry of Public Security, only firearms that use ammunition with a diameter of 4 mm to 20 mm can be measured.
And Li Anlong's "gun-shaped keychain" uses a projectile diameter of only 18 mm, which allowed his defense lawyer to grab the handle, arguing that the authorities could not carry out velocity measurement of a 2 mm caliber firearm, so the "gun-shaped keychain" was not a firearm.
In response to this point of view, the official said that this regulation is only on paper, and in practice, they have also carried out speed measurement on guns that use ammunition with a diameter of less than 4 mm.
In the end, the Liaoning Provincial High People's Court conducted a final trial of the case and upheld the original judgment.
Why does the state strictly control guns? To protect the tranquility and stability of society. Historically, guns have led to many social problems, such as violent crime and civil disputes.
In order to avoid these troubles, and at the same time to prevent the illegal circulation and use of firearms and reduce the crime rate and violent incidents, China promulgated the "Interim Measures for the Control of Firearms" as early as the 50s, which made detailed provisions on the use, management, and sale of firearms, and gradually strengthened the management of firearms.
It can be seen that the state has very strict control over firearms, with many laws and regulations in place to prevent citizens from manufacturing, trading, transporting, and storing anything that can fire bullets.
Although this practice may be worth discussing, judging from the practical effect, it has indeed maintained the stability of public order and guaranteed the safety of the people's lives.
