On July 13 local time, in Butler

On July 13 local time, in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was shot at while holding a campaign rally, and his right ear bled. This shocking incident has once again pushed the issue of the proliferation of guns in the United States to the forefront. When we examine this incident, it is by no means an isolated case but rather a microcosm of the long-term out-of-control situation of guns in the United States.

Looking back over the past few years, the number of deaths related to guns in the United States has been constantly climbing. In 2019, the total number was 33,599, but by 2022, this figure had risen to 44,290, an increase of as much as 31%. Among these deaths, the majority were gun suicides, followed closely by homicides. Behind these cold figures are shattered families, endless grief and despair.

Looking at the sales of guns again, in 2020, the sales of guns in the United States reached a record 23 million, an increase of 65% compared to 2019, and the figure remained high in 2021. What does this mean? It means more guns have flowed into society, and more potential dangers are lurking around us.
