We would mostly not view Public and Official as synonymous, in this case they sound like a non-military use. Does any one know if civilian ownership is allowed in China?

I think the use of public and official would be fairly synonymous in the people's republic of China. Private might be a word that would be opposite in their political situation.

Oh yeah, that makes sense, i was confusing the consepts of public and private, ok brain is turned on again.

FYI I did some googling, in China, private citizens are forbidden from owning and selling guns. However there seem to be a lot of them there,

"But despite strict controls, illegal guns and explosives are still traded in China, and Wu said the ministry would continue its crackdowns.

The ministry launched a national campaign against illegal guns last year. Official figures show that from last June to September, police confiscated about 178,000 illegal guns, 3,900 tons of explosives, 7.77 million detonators and 4.75 million bullets."

I wonder how many of the 178 000 were made in Toronto.

(Detonators and explosives? Yow!)
