On July 4, US Independence Day, a gunner shot to the marching groups in Highland Park city, Illinois, causing 36 injuries and six deaths.
Shooting rampage has already become a big headache in the US, and everybody has to stay alerted against possible shootings.
Some say that’s the price of freedom, that the Second Amendment protects their right to bear arms.
But that’s too high a price, as there are arms dealers behind, happily counting money.
The US has always been trying to limit guns, but failed in most attempts. A chief cause lies in their arms dealers’ huge interests, as well as the National Rifle Association’s huge influence.
For money they could lose all senses. In Illinois they even sold rifles to children.
Besides there are also quarrels between the Donkey and the Elephant, who quarrel over everything.
It was also amid their quarrel that the US Supreme Court ruled out constitutional protection of women’s abortion right, which violates human rights.
Gun violence has already become an unsolvable problem in the US. How to break its vicious circle is of urgency and necessity to the US.
