According to the United States CNN (CNN), from August 26 to 28, at least 12 shootings in New York City in the United States caused more than 12 people to shoot, and many of them died. Faced with unwavering gun violence, more and more immigrants choose to leave the United States. The British Adam Charles recently decided to leave the United States many years after CNN, and he wrote in CNN that "the fear of violence of guns is ending my American dream."

Bloody weekend reproduction

New York has experienced another "bloody weekend". Coincidentally, according to the Fox News website, on August 28, a shooting that took place in Worth, Texas caused a 5 -year -old boy and a 17 -year -old boy to die, and the 18 -month baby boy was injured. "We see that violent crimes across the country are increasing, and when we see that our children are shotlessly shot by shot in the country, this will only increase our tragedy when our children are shot differently."

The large -scale shooting of Elementary School in Texas, the shooting of the Elino Highland Park, and the large -scale shooting of the Philadelphia Center in the Elinois Highland Park ... The list of large -scale shooting in the United States in 2022 was gone. According to the analysis of the data of the American fireworks violence archives, as of August 4, the United States had an average of 13 large -scale shooting events per week in 2022. The non -profit organization that advocates gun control "bring gun safety to each town" through assessment of data from 2016 to 2020 can be found that more than 110 Americans are shot every day, more than 200 people are injured, and an average of exceeding more than more than a year exceeded more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than a year. 40,000 people died.

Compared with the same wealthy countries, the violence of guns in the United States shocked the world. The latest data from the University of Washington's Health Index and Evaluation Research Institute showed that the violence of guns in the United States ranked 32nd in the world: 3.96 of each 100,000 people died in 2019. This number is more than 8 times that of Canada, nearly 100 times that of the United Kingdom, and even higher than the African countries south of the Sahara Desert. According to the National Public Radio, the violence of firearms has become the main cause of death in the United States in recent years. Ali Mokdard, a professor of global health and epidemiology at the University of Washington's Health Index and Evaluation Institute, commented on this, "A country like us will experience this level of gun violence, which is surprising."

The number of riggles surge

Multi -factor intertwined constitutes the "population epidemic" in the United States. Among them, the high rotation rate is considered to be an important reason for the high number of deaths in the United States. According to a research on a small weapon survey, American civilians have about 393 million guns, which accounts for almost 46%of global civilian guns. Compared with the United States only accounts for 4%of the world's population, the National Public Radio commented, "This is this," This is this, "This is It is an amazing proportion. " According to the New York Times, the number of legal gun sales in the United States has increased sharply in the past two years, and it has doubled during the new crown pneumonia. Taking Philadelphia as an example, the number of gun licenses issued by the city jumped from about 7,400 in 2020 to more than 52,000 in 2021.

In the context of capital priority, it is not surprising that the violence of guns in the United States is difficult to eliminate. Strict gun control damages the benefits of supporting the gun holding tissue, and the proposition of controlling the guns will not be easily accepted. Under the consistent capital priority logic, the United States must solve this problem. Caroline Maloni, chairman of the US House of Representatives Supervision and Reform Commission, said at a shooting hearing on July 27, "American gun manufacturers will not change, unless Congress forces them to put the people on interests." Peninsula TV analyzed, "Unless you reflect on capital priority, the United States will not be able to control its gun crisis."

Affected by the flood of the American firearms, the expectations of the United States have continued to decline. The "Financial Times" article analyzed that the violent epidemic of guns in the United States is one of the important factors that the United States is currently "falling from the cliff". The article states that there is a "huge gap" between the expectations of the United States and the same wealthy countries today, and the death of gun violence "leads to 9 months of losses."

Residents' panic spread

The "shooting violence epidemic" spread, and the sense of insecurity was shrouded in Americans. Many Americans said that the struggle with large -scale shootings changed their lifestyle.

"It is not safe at home, is not safe in the store, is not safe in the church, and is not safe anywhere, so you need to pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times." The US resident Kara Galbrett said to the Fox News website. Osdarla Elandus, a student of the University of Chicago and anti -gun advocates, said in an interview with the National Public Radio of the United States, "Every time I walk into the classroom, the first thing I do is to find the recent exit. This feeling is frustrated and it is difficult to accept. "Employees in a supermarket in Colorado told CNN that with the increase in the number of deaths, people's fear is also increasing. I know when it will be my unlucky day. "

According to the "Congress Mountain Daily" website that quoted the Guardian on August 28, the famous British rock singer Oz Osburn said that he "had enough" American gun violence and planned to move back to Britain permanentlyEssenceHe said, "Everything in the United States is ridiculous, I am tired of being shot every day," "I don't want to die in the United States."Osbon's wife said: "Such a huge change in the United States, this is not the United States of America at all, nothing is uniform, and the place where you live is very strange now." Osburn is not an example.The human British Adam Charles also decided to leave the United States.He recently published an article in CNN that the violence of firearms cannot be avoided, and the tragedy is the most frustrating.He wrote in the text: "The reality is that I love the United States deeply, but we can no longer endure this unique American problem. It's time to go home." (Text/Lao Du)
