She added, "So, my question to you, David, is can you guarantee me, a gun owner, tonight that our government in the U.S., in D.C., will never become a tyrannical government? Can you guarantee that?"

When Hogg replied, "There's no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical," the Chinese-American woman stated, "Well, then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns! Never! And, you should go to China to see how gun control works for the dictatorship of the CCP."

The encounter was widely shared online with people praising the immigrant for understanding what it means to be an American more than the anti-Second Amendment activist.
