The security situation in the United States has worsened, after Washington's military presence, Minnesota school shootings, Trump ordered the American flag to be halved, why said the recent encounters in the United States have verified a Chinese old saying?

Someone made up a joke, saying, "Free America, shoot every day." Although this may be a bit black for the United States, the domestic public security situation in the United States is really not flattering.On the 27th local time, a vicious shooting occurred in a school in the south of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. A 23-year-old gunman shot at people in the church school from the window, killing two children and injuring 17 others. The gunman eventually shot himself.After the incident, US President Trump quickly listened to the report and signed an announcement, pointing out that in order to show respect for the victims, the White House and all federal public buildings would fly their flags at half-mast before August 31st. He also called on Americans to join themselves in praying for all involved.

Considering that Trump not long ago dispatched the National Guard to Washington, the capital of the United States, on the grounds of poor law and order, and with this vicious incident in Minnesota, it seems that Trump has to send troops to this state to maintain stability.But if widened to the United States, the problem of "gun violence" in the United States has shown a trend that is difficult to control. According to the statistics of relevant U.S. websites, so far, the United States has at least 286 group shootings this year, which causes more than 4 deaths including gunmen injury cases, 8 months have occurred almost 300 cases.No matter how you look at it, gun control is an urgent issue in the United States, but the point is that the Trump administration and Republicans may be willing to lower the flag for victims, but they will never agree to gun control.

In the eyes of Republicans, the root cause of frequent shootings is not too many guns, but a problem in society. As long as we solve the problem of social education, there is no need for excessive regulation of guns. Their logic is a bit like describing cars, like someone hitting someone on the road, we should punish drunk or reckless drivers, rather than saying "Let's ban cars in the whole city for safety." But the Republican logic has serious loopholes. Objectively speaking, there are bad people in every society, and the Republican Party's permissive of guns will only make the bad people more capable of evil and increase the risk of society. In fact, it is not that Republicans do not understand this. They refuse to strictly control guns, and the underlying reason is that they are motivated by interests.

Gun sales in the United States are a big business, supporting the profits of countless arms dealers and spawning strong political lobbying forces, the most famous of which is the National Rifle Association of the United States.This is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the United States. It is very rich and influential. They will spend a lot of money to support politicians, mainly Republicans, who support gun rights, and at the same time spend money to overthrow politicians who advocate gun control. Also,Republican voters are generally gun owners and generally consider gun ownership to be a traditional way of life, and whoever dares to move their guns will definitely not vote for whom. So, given the influence of these forces, Republican politicians think of the blurry and do not dare to do things about gun control.

Of course, the gun issue is only the tip of the U.S. public security issue, the deepest cause of shooting incidents is the imbalance of U.S. social governance, the U.S. two parties are each bound by interest groups, and in many issues can not make decisions that benefit the overall interests of the country, which is the fundamental stubbornness of the United States.These years, the American industry emptiness, the national drug abuse problem serious, racial contradictions increase, unemployment rate increase, etc., the substance behind the problem and the shooting, are all the decline of the U.S. government governance ability.In short, the U.S. problem may be exactly the old Chinese saying, the death of the kingdom must have a devil, the U.S. although it is not about the "dead country", but behind its decline, indeed filled with a lot of "demon ghost" shadow.
