No? Would lead to a lot of shooting deaths that otherwise would not have happened, though. Guns are the #1 killer of under-18s in the US. Why would you invite that public health disaster into your functional country?
Fun fact they have something for that. It's called the militia. Their equivalent of the reserves.
Millions of Chinese who are in good standing with the government and party who get together every now and then to practice shooting assault rifles on weekends. They don't take them home.
When you combine paramilitary police, the PLA and the militia there's nearly a hundred million armed people they can call up already.
Cuba and Vietnam have similar things. Luna Ooi is always talking about how she was field stripping AKs and shooting at school for militia practice. That's better for a society than a kid shooting up a school.
