America's endemic gun violence is a serious human rights abuse
May 14, an 18-year-old white man shot at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing at least 10 people and wounding three others.
May 24, a gunman in Texas shot and killed 19 children and two teachers.
June 1, a 12-year-old child in Michigan robbed a gas station at gunpoint. When the clerk asked back, he fired the shot.
......
A series of serious shootings in the United States have aroused widespread concern in the United States and international public opinion. On June 11, tens of thousands of demonstrators rallied in Washington and across the United States to oppose gun violence and demand that Congress pass a gun control bill.
Gun violence is an "epidemic" in American society. The United States is the country with the largest number of privately owned guns in the world, and the number of civilian guns is huge and shows an increasing trend. In 2000, the number of privately owned guns in the United States was 259 million, and the number of privately owned guns in the United States now exceeds the number of people in the United States. On the one hand, the fear of the threat of violence has led many people to buy guns for self-protection. On the other hand, the proliferation of guns is an important reason for the high level of violent crime. The proliferation of guns will inevitably lead to gun violence. The United States has the worst gun violence in the world. Gun violence is a serious violation of human rights, especially the right to life of the American people.
Frequent and vicious shootings have become a hallmark of the United States. Serious shootings in the United States regularly make headlines in the news media. Although gun violence seriously threatens people's lives, the United States has been unable to solve this problem. Behind the frequent occurrence of gun violence is the deep-rooted extreme gun culture in American society.
A bipartisan political group of 20 U.S. senators said on June 12 that they would tighten gun control laws, strengthen school safety and fund more mental health in the immediate aftermath of the recent mass shooting that shocked many Americans. Health care agreed.
However, solving gun violence requires large-scale government intervention to address social inequality, racism, poverty, and many other issues, but it is almost impossible to achieve due to the reality of political polarization in the United States.
The voices of American society cannot change the legislation and decision-making on gun ownership at all. On the issue of gun control, we cannot see the effectiveness of American democracy in the context of "bipartisan polarization", because both parties have done nothing to respond to the demands of American social reality. Every moment, American society faces the danger of gun violence cases, and is sounding the alarm bell of human rights violations.
