A mass shooting occurred at Robb Elementary School in Texas, USA, more than a month ago that shocked the United States. The murderer was an 18-year-old high school dropout who had the legal right to own a gun. After buying a gun, the murderer first shot and wounded his grandmother, then broke into the classroom and shot at teachers and classmates, killing 21 people and injuring at least 17 others.

Secondly, in order to maintain their influence, American gun interest groups donate money to politicians every year, make deals with politicians, require the government to regard "gun freedom" as correct, and strive to create the political legitimacy of gun ownership.
Driven by interests, "gun control" in the United States is destined to exist only in the banners and slogans of demonstrators, but cannot be truly realized. In the end, it is capital that makes money, and it is the people who suffer.
