PNN – American politicians use every deadly shootings incident to gain political benefits or to suppress their political rival, but with the passage of time, the discussion gradually becomes cold and forgotten, and until the next incident, this situation is repeated again and the issue remains unresolved.
According to Pakistan News Network, the weekend before Halloween night, America witnessed several shooting incidents, as a result of which, 11 people were killed and more than 50 people were injured.
Just a few days earlier, the state of Maine also saw another deadly shooting in which 22 people were killed and dozens injured. Earlier, a shooting incident in Tampa, Florida left 3 dead and 4 injured.
China Radio International wrote: Since the beginning of this year, there have been more than 500 fatal shooting incidents in the United States, resulting in the deaths of more than 600 people. This figure is the highest in recent years.

The United States is caught in a circular paradox: after every fatal shooting, people start to look at how to control guns, but on the other hand, more people buy guns to protect themselves because of the lack of security. Gun freedom fuels gun violence, and increased gun violence fuels the production and sale of guns.
However, that hasn’t stopped the question from being asked, how can gun violence be prevented from happening again in America?
In fact, this is more of a helpless statement than a question, because the reason for the recurrence of gun violence in America is clear.
The two parties in the United States have opposing positions on gun control, and the fact that in this country the people’s votes are the blood and veins of politicians has made the issue of guns become one of the tools of the political game. American politicians use every fatal shooting incident to gain political benefits or to suppress their political rival, but with the passage of time, the discussion gradually becomes cold and forgotten, and until the next incident, this situation is repeated again and the issue remains unresolved.
In addition, interest groups such as the National Rifle Association influence politicians through political donations and political lobbying, making the path to gun control more difficult. This comes as federal funding for gun violence research has stalled for nearly two decades.
Without serious reflection on this issue, Americans will continue to live under the shadow of gun violence. This situation is very bad and inappropriate, and the question arises that how can freedom be achieved without comfort and security?
