American poll: 80% of Americans believe that gun violence is getting worse. Why can't they stop shooting?

80% of Americans believe that gun violence is getting worse, and the reasons why the United States can't do anything about guns are as follows.

1. Americans believe that the right to hold guns is the basic right of American citizens. Some Americans believe that owning guns is a basic right of American citizens and is guaranteed by the Constitution. The Second Amendment of the American Constitution clearly stipulates that well-trained militia is a necessary measure to ensure the security of a free state, so the right of citizens to own and carry guns is inviolable. ?

Perhaps because of this, many people are angry about gun ownership, but on the issue of how to deal with guns, no one proposes to completely ban private guns, just limit the age of buying guns, investigate gun buyers and prohibit the use of semi-automatic weapons. If guns are completely banned, is this aimed at Americans? Civil rights? A kind of deprivation.

Second, guns in the United States are too rampant to be banned. There are now 393 million guns in the United States. 4.2% of the world's population holds 46% of the world's civilian guns. What is this concept? In other words, every 100 people in the United States own 120 pistols.

With so many guns, people with guns will not be surprised when they walk in the street, but they will always think about their own lives.

Every weekend, the public security incidents in the United States emerge one after another, and gunshots come one after another, which will make many Americans think that owning a gun is the best way to defend themselves. This also makes every large-scale shooting incident have protests against gun violence.

3. Liberalism from the United States The tradition of American gunmen is mainly influenced by the military tradition and classical liberalism in the colonial era. It has been more than 200 years since the constitution of the United States was formulated, but great changes have taken place in international politics. But the spirit of freedom in America continues to this day. The right to hold a gun is the best proof.

Therefore, according to relevant polls, slightly more than half of people advocate that gun laws should remain as they are or be more relaxed.
