Overseas Network, September 15. According to a report by the American “Chicago Crusader” on September 12, gun violence in the United States continues to escalate. African-American teenagers are dying, injured or suffering mental torture due to gun violence at a disproportionately high rate, and are the most affected. .
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading cause of death among African-American children and young adults ages 1 to 44 is firearms. A report from a gun violence prevention organization states that the number of African Americans shot by police is 18 times that of whites, the number of African Americans shot by police is 12 times that of whites, and the number of African Americans shot to death by police is nearly three times that of whites.
According to reports, the gun violence crisis has taken a toll on the mental health of African Americans, while the gun industry has made billions of dollars from it. According to a report by the National Shooting Sports Fund, the firearms industry trade association, the firearms and ammunition industry will contribute as much as $80.73 billion to U.S. economic activity in 2022.
According to the report, experts have long known that, as with most social statistics, African Americans bear the brunt of gun violence, both physically and mentally. Reports indicate that gun violence disproportionately affects test scores and other related educational outcomes for Black Americans. (Dong Yueliang, intern of Overseas Network Liu Qiang)
