When young American people shoot young American people ...

Author:Chinese network Time:2022.06.17

Recently, large -scale parade demonstrations broke out across the United States.

It was the campus shootings of the Robb Elementary School in Losas, which made these people involved in the demonstrations.

Among the 21 victims, 19 were children, the youngest, only 9 years old -the number of deaths and injuries was second to 10 years ago Sandyhk Primary School campus shooting.

The murderer who killed them was just 18 years old.

Such a tragedy has never ended in the nearly ten years between the two large -scale campus shootings.

What is even more appalling is that according to the latest research from the University of Michigan in the United States: shootings have become the main cause of death in American teenagers. The proportion of guns related to guns in American teenagers reached 29.5%, which is twice that of ordinary people.

Children, the most distressing victims in the surge in shooting.

In the United States, why does the muzzle keep going down and aimed at those young lives?

Let's take a look at the place where the shooting occurs:

According to the statistics of the large-scale shooting of the United States in 2013-2022, the campus has become the second place in the United States in 2013-2022, and 13.6%of the large-scale shooting is the second place in the United States. They all happened here.

Among them, the 70 % campus shooters were under 18 years old, and the youngest was even only 6 years old.

Looking for this clue, in the statistics, we found another shocking trend -the average age of the murderer of the large -scale shooting in the United States in the United States in the United States, it has fallen to 18 years old in 2022.

After the gunshot, the young life before and after the muzzle covered the shadow.

However, in the United States, this disadvantaged group not only did not attract the protection and attention of the United States, but some people were still trying to hand the guns to their hands.

In the lawsuit, some clues can be found.

After the shooting of Rob Elementary School, a family member of a victimized child made a request for the national defense of the gun manufacturer Daniel, as evidence that it had a marketing record and advertising content on social media platforms.

In this shooting, the two AR-15 rifles used by the murderer came from this company.

The day before the murderer purchased the gun, Daniel's defense pushed the following gun advertisements on social media.

On May 16th, the day before the murderer of the Robe Primary School shooting, the day before the murderer Ramos bought a gun, Daniel National Defense released rifle ads in Twitter. In the picture, the child holds the rifle and the advertising words are: "Training a child, let him go the way he should go, and when he grows up, he will not leave."

The rifle, which looks incompatible as the child, is displayed in the advertisement like a toy. After the shooting of Rob Elementary School, this advertisement caused anger for netizens because of its extremely incarant content and was removed from the shelves.

But in fact, this is exactly the advertising strategies commonly used by most American gun manufacturers.

After the shooting of the Rubu primary school in the United States, the American CBS conducted a special investigation and found that the firearm manufacturer is increasingly putting advertisements to the Internet. Twitter) social media websites such as Twitter), Instagram.

These social media platforms gathered a large number of adolescent users. Pew Research Center data showed that 85%of teenagers (13-17 years old) said they would use Youtu.

According to the analysis of Josh Schmann, the executive director of the US Violence Policy Research Center, gun manufacturers still have a lot of marketing strategies for young people in social media:

When the gun products are continuously exposed in the youth group, the gun manufacturer can directly attach the link of the sales website to the posts and videos, and the exposure rate can be converted into actual purchase behavior.

Researchers at the University of Delu found that the video released by the 89%of the top -of -gun topics on Youbutu is a link on the sales website of the gun.

All this is the ultimate goal of the gun manufacturer: on the day of the 18 -year -old (youth), you can prepare for the first assault rifle in your life.

Social media, the influence of gun manufacturers touches the youth groups unprecedentedly. In fact, even in the age of no social media, these young people have failed to avoid the impact of guns and violence.

Lord Tan simply searched the "How To USE GUN" (how to use the gun) entry on You Rabbit. The amount of viewing is as high as 450 million times.

In the most popular netizens below, all of them mentioned their "childhood memories" of this game.

This video was published on the Youbutu platform 3 years ago, but this "first perspective shooting game" became the main type of American video games in 2004. In the era when social media was not popular, NERF rely on such shooting video games, as well as advertising in high $ 1 billion in television and paper media to attract young users.

In 2006, NERF once took advantage of the shooting game, and a LONGSHOT high -simulation rifle launched by the shooting game was greatly successful. In the past ten years, it was reprinted 6 times and pushed it to the market.

However, according to the Statistics of the Washington Post, about 100,000 students in the United States have suffered from gun violence in the past ten years. But in the face of huge profit margins, these profit -seeking people use their children's immature mentality to make profits, and they do not take the serious consequences of this behavior.

Whether it is a toy gun manufacturing company or a gun manufacturer that is "relay" to the children's hands, they are exposed to the violent environment. Not only that, there are even special legislations in the United States to open up these marketing behaviors of gun manufacturers.

In 2005, the United States passed the "Legal Trade Protection Law of Weapons", and the provisions made the gun industry avoid civil liability for the danger of its products.

This exempts the marketing behavior of these gun manufacturers to some extent, allowing them to impact young people more boldly.

The gun manufacturer aims at the youth group. It is not only the short -term economic income brought by the sales of products, but also the long -term "control" of young people.

Investigation reports from the US Violence Policy Research Center showed that from 2005 to 2013, the funds transported to the National Rifle Association of the United States National Rifle was increased from $ 14.7 million to 60.2 million.

These money is used to support various projects from the National Rifle Association, including teenagers.

Publicity map

You know, the United States National Rifle Association is not just an industry association. Its more important role is to exist as a strong political organization with a strong position holding a gun and a strong party.

On the one hand, this association spends $ 3 million a year for lobbying members of the two houses of Congress and spare no effort to lobby the bill to prevent each gun control.

On the other hand, in order to make the concept of "holding a gun" more popular and capture fans, the National Rifle Association of the United States is very generous for young people's entry conditions. Young members only need to pay one -third of ordinary members' fees.

Gun manufacturers and the United States National Rifle Association united. They must not only turn their children into consumers, but also use education and training to shape these children's political stances on the problem of guns, turning them into firm gun supporters into In the future, the United States will promote the hindrance of gun control policies in the future.

If there is no law and policies, the gun control is destined to be difficult. However, even with the law of gun control, the problem of flooding of guns cannot be solved, especially when we focus on the analysis field of vision to the state.

According to the statistics of the "State Firefare Law" project of Boston University, a total of 107 relevant laws related to firearms control in California are the states with the largest number of gun control bills in the United States.

California ranks first in the annual gun control rating of the Gejkuz to prevent the Firers Violence Law Center.

According to people's general understanding of "shot control", the stricter the gun control policy, the incidence of shooting should also be reduced. However, after comparison and analysis, Tan found that California was also the state with the most large-scale shootings in the United States from 2013 to 2022.

What are the reasons behind this?

The California Democratic Senator Dian Vanstan, who has tried to promote the legislation of gun control, pointed out the key to the problem: the gun control bill in individual regions is strict, which is to treat the standard and not the root cause.

California law enforcement agencies have recently reported that more than 30%of all guns recovered in criminal activities are illegal guns transformed by private transformation. The parts used in illegal transformation can be obtained from other states.

Most of the 50 states in the United States have no registered policies for guns. About 40 states do not even require citizens to obtain permits before buying guns, which means that most of the gun transactions have not been subject to government supervision.

Therefore, Vandan said helplessly: "If there is no more stringent federal -level gun regulations, it is almost impossible to stop guns from other states from entering California."

So, what is the legislative situation of the US Congress on the issue of gun control?

According to data from the Pew Research Center, in December 2012, after a large -scale campus shooting occurred in Sandyhk Primary School, Americans's willingness to control the ownership of the gun reached its peak. At that time, under the coordination of the US Vice President Biden, the Democratic and Republican Party of the United States Senate jointly launched and promoted a two -party gun control bill.

This is also the most important opportunity window for the United States to promote gun -controlling legislation in the past ten years, but in the end, the bill was rejected in the Senate with a voting result of 54 to 46.

After the failure of the legislation in 2013, the US Congress's "shot control" related legislation did not fully statistics. It was found that in the past 10 years, 399 items of Congress involved restrictions, prohibiting, and preventive gun violence -none of them were finally passed.

"A shooting-called for a shot-the shot-control failed", such a strange circle has been cyclically in the United States for ten years.

The Democratic Party, which has always supported the "shot control", is accustomed to pushing all the responsibilities of legislation to the Republican Party after failure. However, can the Democratic Party really push the responsibility of the failure of the gun control to others?

Looking at the dimension for ten years, "shot control" is more like the "passion performance" of the Democratic Party after the large -scale shooting incident.

Murphy, a Democratic Senator, who has long participated in gun control issues for a long time, admits that a large number of "gun control" bills will emerge quickly after a large shooting case.

However, most of the bills have stayed in the introduction stage and have never been discussed on the table. As the Democratic Party said, the Republican Party is the biggest resistance, so it is difficult to explain that after the Bayeng government came to power, the Democratic Party occupied a newly proposed gun control bill in the U.S. Congress, and up to 95%of them were not discussed at all.

If you look at the changes in the number of legal guns in the United States, you will find that from the previous period of the Democratic Government that is keen to "ban" to the current Biden government, the US gun rate has been rising.

In the final analysis, the "shot control" promoted by the Democratic Party is just a posture, and the soup is boiling and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of violence of guns.

Last weekend, the "for our lives" of the "For our lives" gun -controlling organization gave Biden a D+transcript for the violence of guns in the past year.

After the recent large -scale shooting, the reporter of the "Time" magazine column wrote without ironic:

"The White House issued a statement responsible for expressing their ideas and prayers. Someone always called for action, but then shelved. Politicians lack a real sense of responsibility, but only by releaseing some active political signals for themselves for themselves. absolve."

The political games of American politicians are still continuing infinitely. Those who are trapped are the lives of Americans under the muzzle.
