Trarises were staged one after another on the land of the United States. Within 24 hours, two unfortunate news came from the United States! In full view of everyone, Trump's political allies were assassinated. What problems are reflected behind all this?
A few days ago, American right-wing activist, conservative political activist, Trump's political ally and hardcore supporter, commentator Kirk died after being shot during a speech at a university in Utah. Kirk's death quickly alarmed the White House. Trump praised Kirk many times. After learning about Kirk's death, he expressed his condolences through social media, saying that Kirk, who is "great and even legendary", has passed away. He also emphasized that Kirk is deeply loved and respected by everyone, including himself. For this reason, the White House has lowered the flag at half-mast. Trump even ordered a large number of federal agencies to lower the flag at half-mast to No. 14 to express condolences.
Combined with Kirk's political propositions and public remarks, his death is easy to make people think of. Why? Not only because Kirk is a political ally of Trump, but also because of his many propositions. Kirk was shot in a public event involving politics, and he was answering a topic about gun restrictions and bans.
In recent years, as the US economic development has stagnated, the pressure on the people has increased, and coupled with the impact of problems such as illegal immigration, drug proliferation, and "diversity", the contradictions in American society have continued to deepen. Under such circumstances, frequent violent crimes in American society are also becoming a major problem. In fact, on the same day Kirk was shot, a campus shooting occurred in Evergreen, Colorado, USA, killing one student and injuring two students! The increasing frequent shooting crimes have also triggered the United States' thinking about the right to freely hold guns from politics to society.
In view of social stability, the Democratic Party advocates restricting gun possession. Former US President Biden began to restrict gun possession as early as the beginning of his term. Everyone should pay attention that Biden only restricts gun possession, not prohibits gun possession. For example, he signed an executive order to control individuals to process and assemble their own parts by purchasing components, do not produce serial numbers in retrospectively, and also restrict pistol stabilization brackets. The reason why Biden refused to ban guns was because he knew very well that banning guns would likely arouse widespread opposition in society.
The conservatives represented by the Republican Party are different. They believe that allowing citizens to hold guns is necessary, and Kirk himself also supports this proposition.Just seconds before being shot, he was discussing the topic of gun rights with opposing guns with people on the scene. When the other party tried to list the serious casualties in the United States, Kirk asked the other party lightly: These shooting cases do not include gang violence? His original intention should be that many gun crimes in the United States are attributed to gang crimes and have nothing to do with the popularity of guns.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was shot! Interestingly, he once said: Even if (the United States) loses some life every year, in order to retain the right to hold a gun, it is a price worth paying. So to a certain extent, Kirk can also prove his own truth., but I wonder if he had ever thought that the price would be himself?
Precisely because the incident was too dramatic and Kirk's political propositions were difficult not to cause controversy, his death inevitably made people doubt: Could it be that someone chose to commit this murder for his own demands in American society or government? This possibility not only exists, but is not small. Perhaps it is also because of this, the Democratic Party also made a statement after the incident. Two former US presidents, 64-year-old Obama and 83-year-old Biden have issued condolences. The statements of Democratic politicians are not ruled out to be trying to avoid falling into unnecessary controversy.
Overall, Kirk, as a conservative activist in the United States, was an inevitable confusing incident, reflecting the fact that today's American politicians have no public trust and the polarization of American society, the increasingly fierce contradiction between conservatives and liberals. Moreover, two tragedies occurred in the United States within 24 hours, which further demonstrates the various safety hazards caused by the proliferation of guns in the United States. If no reasonable solution is found, similar bloodshed may continue to repeat itself in the United States.
