In the early hours of July 5, local time, a shooting incident occurred in the northeast of Washington, D.C., injuring nine people. Residents were celebrating “Independence Day” at the time of the incident. In the past few days, shooting incidents have occurred in many places in the United States, causing dozens of deaths and injuries. The continuous gunshots remind the American people all the time that gun violence has become an inescapable shadow in their lives. However, for American politicians, the issue of gun control is only a tool used to carry out partisan struggles and attack political opponents. In the politically polarized environment of the United States, gun violence has become an intractable disease.
While social security is seriously deteriorating, the majority of Americans are still facing difficulties in life. “USA Today” bluntly stated that the current feelings of Americans on the current state of the domestic economy can be described in two words-“frustration” and “uncertainty”. With the Federal Reserve doing whatever it takes to curb inflation, the U.S. economy is edging closer to the brink of recession. Under the multiple hazes, as David Shribman, the former executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, said, “America has changed from a country where Americans look forward to the future to a country full of fear.”
