Is it difficult for American gun control to work, and the supremacy of private rights has become the main crux of the problem?
On May 24, 21 people were killed in a shooting incident in Texas, USA. With each new incident, it's finally a matter of course whether America's social sector should start cracking down harder on guns. This shooting injury targets children and vulnerable groups. Nor can the international community tolerate it.
There are many countries in the world with private guns, but only the United States has experienced a large-scale humanitarian disaster, which is inseparable from the social division and ideology of the United States. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution promises that private ownership of guns is the right of every citizen, and guns are the fundamental guarantee of human rights inviolability, but the source of public power is at the expense of private rights. If everyone is unwilling to give up some of their rights, how will the social system be formed? How to ensure public safety?
100 years of American hegemony have created ethnocentrism and class divisions in the United States. At the same time, it also led to the expansion of private rights with the United States first, white people first, and self-interest first. American public affairs can drag on for years and cannot vote for personal gain. The development of capitalism has led to a serious gap between the rich and the poor, the solidification of classes, and social contradictions that cannot be balanced and resolved through a programmed voting mechanism. In American society, private rights override public rights, and social conflicts cannot be resolved through institutional adjustments.
The violence caused by the proliferation of guns has been an abscess in American society, claiming countless lives and shattering families. President Biden has also made several speeches expressing his determination to control guns. On August 30 this year, Biden delivered a speech on gun control in Binzhou, saying for six consecutive times that I am serious about gun control, but the gun control bill is still difficult. In the form of legal proof, the United States is in stark contrast to its external bullying and its internal weakness. It is the long-term transfer of social contradictions in the United States that has led to the decline of today's national movement. It's time for America to reflect on its own institutional problems.
