Gun violence has always been one of the stubborn diseases of American society. Under the many disadvantages of the US party politics, voting politics, and money politics, the problem of gun control was not effectively resolved. At the same time, the violence of firearms has intensified, and more and more teenagers have become victims of gun violence. Recently, there have been many shootings involving teenagers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

According to local media reports, Philadelphia, local time on the evening of the 17th, in the morning of the 18th Beijing time, a shooting of a local adolescent party party, causing four teenagers to be injured. Police said that 9 shells and three pistols were found during the search process.

Earlier, on the 16th local time, a public activity venue in Philadelphia also shot, and six suspects fired about 100 shots at the scene. The outdoor camera probe near the shooting scene recorded a series of guns at the time. During the suspect's escape, the vehicles they drove hit the sidewalk. According to reports, 5 people were shot in the shooting of this shooting, including two teenagers.

Local media reports said that in a series of shootings in the local Philadelphia last weekend, the deaths and injuries also included teenagers.

Some analysts have pointed out that more and more teenagers have become victims in various types of gun -related violence in the United States. According to statistics from the non -profit organization of the US "Guns Violence Archives" websites, as of August 18, this year, various types of gun -related violence in the United States have caused 1071 children and adolescents to die, 2,864 children and adolescents were injured.

Multiple factors lead

In response to the shooting of Philadelphia, the local police said that the spread of firearms in the community was one of their main issues. But in fact, the degree of flooding in American society can be said to be beyond imagination. The interest chain, political disability and other factors behind this jointly created the current American "fire violent epidemic".

American civilian guns have the first in the world

According to the "World Population Review" website, the United States is the country with the highest rate of civilian guns in the world. Of every 100 people, the guns owned by civilians are as high as 120.5. This number is almost twice the second place. It is about 2.3 times that of Yemen in the war areas, and more than 12 times the global average. In 2017, the US civilians had a total of 393.3 million guns, and the population in the United States in 2017 was 326.4 million, which means that the number of guns owned by American civilians is more than the total population of the United States. Articles from the US Broadcasting Corporation pointed out that the United States "has less than 5%of the world's population, with 40%of the world's guns in the world."

Political disorders and interests Groups are unsolvable of beautiful firearms.

In recent years, American firearms have been hot. From 2000 to 2020, American firearms manufacturers produced more than 139 million guns for the commercial market, and 11.3 million branches were produced in 2020. Although some American people demanded that the government promotes the gun control process throughout the country, the sound of gun control has not affected the profit expectations of American gun manufacturers, and their stock price rose after the shooting. One week after the shooting of the Labu Elementary School, which caused 19 primary school students to die on May 24, the stock price of the firearm manufacturer Smith Warson rose 12%against the trend, and Stam Luger's stock price rose 6.6%. It can be said that under the increasingly intense situation of guns, the power control of the gun has not been strengthened, but it has prompted the sales of guns to continue to grow, so that gun companies can make great earnings.

Analysis pointed out that the manufacturing, trading and use of guns in the United States are a huge industrial chain, forming a huge interest group. Interests groups such as the National Rifle Association have provided a lot of political donations for the presidential elections and Congress elections. The many disadvantages of the US party politics, voting politics, and money politics are intertwined, making it difficult for legislation and administrative agencies to make a difference in gun management and control. This also eventually led to the increasingly violent American guns and countless shooting tragedies.
