\nWho are we? An evolving sense of identity is changing the socio- political scene, writes Clarence Tsui Abstract Translate Top of Form Bottom of Form Of course, it’s not as if there weren’t efforts to galvanise a “Hong Kong spirit” before that – who could forget the government’s ill-fated “Hong Kong for Sure” campaign in 1999 to secure the hosting rights to the 2006 Asian Games, or former financial secretary Antony Leung Kam-chung’s cringe-worthy rendition of Below the Lion Rock in his budget speech in March 2002 to conjure public sympathy for his initiatives? The most glaring example was in April 1999, when the then Secretary for Security Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee declared that up to 1.67 million mainlanders would come to Hong Kong if a court ruling giving right of abode to mainland-born children of Hong Kong residents was not overturned. Branded by human rights activists as a “scare tactic”, Mrs Ip’s remarks inadvertently shaped mainlanders as a marauding mass hovering at the gates. The transformation of mainland arrivals to Hong Kong in the past two years – from poor cousins to moneyed tourists – reveals the conflicting sentiments Hongkongers have in terms of how they see the “other” and themselves. “On the one hand we want to earn their money, but on the other we still want to see them as backward people who couldn’t compare to our sophisticated selves,” says Sze Lai- shan, a social worker with the Society for Community Organisation who has worked since 1996 for the rights of mainland immigrants. And in this lies the schism within the Hongkonger: an identity that remains in flux, whether Queen’s Pier remains or not.

However polished as he might be, he recalls one particular question that really annoyed him a month ago. “It was this television journalist who was interviewing me for, well, one of those handover anniversary specials,” he said. “And after all the deliberate questions, he said he had one final question he had to ask me: whether I feel I’m Chinese now. So after all the discussion that went on about our work, it boils down, again, to such a simplified view of things.” It’s easy to see the source of his ire: for someone who fronts a group called Local Action – comprising activists whose major objective is tee it) or concealed, so long as they abide by other restricted places such as bars, stadiums and businesses that have put up signs saying they do not want guns in their building.\u00a0 This is all for handguns, rifles can be carried by anyone over the age of 18 with no license.\n <\/p>\n
\n “Constitutional carry” has been fiercely debated during the legislature and the objective was to eliminate the need for everyone to go through the process of getting the LTC.\u00a0 Texas’ constitution says that Texans have the right to bear arms, but the state can regulate this “with a view to prevent violence.”\n <\/p>\n
\n The question: Should Texas have adopted “constitutional carry” of firearms?\u00a0 Does the law at least attempt to prevent violence, or is it an unreasonable restriction on Texans right to bear arms?\u00a0 What will the ramifications of this law being passed, if any?\n <\/p>\n
