The report "The Facts about the Spread of Gun Violence in the United States" was released today (the 16th). By listing facts and data, it reveals the serious situation of gun violence in the United States and the political and social reasons that have not been solved for a long time.
The report said that the gun violence in the United States has a long history, which is intertwined with many issues such as gun culture, individual rights, interest groups, and party politics. It has long troubled American society, seriously violated the people's right to life, and has become an indelible human rights stain in American society.
The report points out that gun violence is one of the most serious social problems in the United States. Its impact extends far beyond the victims and their families, and affects the entire society and country. In addition to causing casualties and public security problems, it also brings huge economic losses and social and psychological trauma to the United States. The United States has the largest number of guns in the world. According to American standards, large-scale shootings refer to gun violence that causes more than 4 casualties, except for suspect and perpetrators. According to the gun violence file data, since 2013, the number of large-scale shooting incidents and deaths in the United States has increased nearly threefold. In 2019, there were 417 large-scale shootings in the United States, 611 in 2020 and 692 in 2021. Over the years, large-scale campus shootings have taken place in the United States one after another, causing great pain to the society.
The report also pointed out that the mutually constrained political system, increasingly polarized political ecology, all-pervasive interest groups, and racial discrimination that are difficult to eradicate make the control of guns in the United States very difficult, and the comprehensive prohibition of guns has almost become an "impossible task". Some politicians in the United States have long ignored the right to life of their own people. In the face of the increasingly serious problem of the proliferation of guns, they still do nothing in the boastful and protracted debate, and criticize the human rights of other countries. What they should and should do most is to face up to and solve their own problems so that the American people can truly enjoy freedom from the fear of gun violence.
