Recently, multiple shootings have occurred in the United States. There may also be sporadic shootings in the middle of two large-scale shootings, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of deaths due to gun violence. According to data from the US "Gun Violence Archives" website, as of May 28, more than 17,592 people have died in gun-related incidents in the United States.

However, the core of the controversy among American politicians has not even reached the "how to control guns" step, and it is still on the issue of "whether to control guns".
After the details of the shooting at Rob Elementary School in Texas were disclosed some time ago, the debate became even more intense than ever.
According to US media reports such as " Washington Post ", Associated Press and other US media, McLeo, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, admitted when he made public the relevant details of the case that the commander at the scene judged that the gunman was blocked in the classroom and would not immediately pose a threat to students elsewhere in the school. Therefore, the police did not take action immediately, but chose to wait in the corridor.
"For the next half hour, as many as 19 policemen were crowded in the corridor outside. It took another 47 minutes until the Border Patrol tactical team arrived before breaking into the door," McLeo said.

"This is a wrong decision." McLaugh said that according to law enforcement regulations, police should respond to gunmen's attacks in a timely manner and should not wait for support.
" New York Post " further disclosed that during this process, the police not only received multiple calls for help from teachers and students trapped on campus, but parents outside the school gate were also kneeling down and crying to the police for sudden in. Some parents were also squirted by the police by hot pepper spray, electric guns, and even handcuffed by hand.
Due to a police "wrong decision", the case eventually killed 19 children and two teachers, becoming one of the deadliest campus shootings in U.S. history.
In fact, the "unreliable" of the police is the focus of publicity by many entrepreneurial associations. In most states in the United States, there have been cases where residents have not received police protection after calling the police, and have no legal basis for suing the police. Of course, the general public can only choose to own guns and defend themselves.
There is even a saying among the American people: "Believe in 1911 (a pistol) instead of 911 (a police call) when it is dangerous."
Just the second day after the shooting in elementary school in Texas, another shooting occurred in West Virginia, USA. The gunman shot at a crowd at a party. He was then shot and killed by a woman with a gun at the party.
Since there were no casualties except the gunmen in this shooting, this case became the focus of U.S. officials who oppose gun control.
Shortly after the shooting of Texas elementary school, the National Rifle Association, the largest gun-ownership organization in the United States, was held as scheduled in the local area. Former President Donald Trump , and Republican Senator Cruz, etc., were invited to speak.
Cruz even stated in his speech that if the use of large-power military rifles is prohibited, it will lead to "more children's deaths" because "Americans will not be able to use long rifles to stop street robberies."
29, US President Biden and his wife Jill went to Texas to comfort the families of the victims of the shooting in Rob Primary School. When leaving the scene, the nearby people once again called out: "Do something!"
Biden pointed to the front and replied: "We will."
However, ironically, an annual report related to the impact of the gun economy recently released by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an American arms trade industry organization, pointed out that the US gun industry has developed rapidly over the past 14 years and has become one of the "economic highlights" of the United States.
Gun interest groups have provided a large amount of donations to political elections and have been manipulating policies by lobbying politicians, which has led to the inability of several U.S. governments to implement their promises of limiting guns, leaving multiple gun control bills to end in failure.
