A conservative gun supporter in the United States was shot dead, which is a bit ironic. I studied it using GPT: 1. The United States is indeed the country with the most severe gun violence among developed countries 2. The mortality rate of gun cases is still much lower than that of diseases, car accidents, etc 3. There will be no major changes in the law in the foreseeable future 4. But ordinary people don't have to worry too much either Discussion: The gun death rate in the United States is about 12-13 people per 100000 people, far higher than non gun banned countries such as Canada, Switzerland, and Northern Europe (generally 1-3 people), and tens or even hundreds of times higher than gun banned countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom. This means that among all developed countries, the United States is the "outlier" with the most severe gun violence and shootings. Although the vast majority of Americans will never be directly shot in their lifetime, from a statistical perspective, the total amount of gun violence endured by American society is unmatched by other developed countries and has become a focus of world public opinion. Although shooting incidents in the United States are frequent and highly concerning, it is not the number one killer when it comes to overall causes of death. Approximately 40000 people die from firearms each year (with the majority of 60% being suicides), and the number of deaths from car accidents is even higher (around 40000 to 50000 people). Hundreds of thousands of people die from heart disease and cancer. In other words, from a "personal probability" perspective, Americans are more likely to die from illness or traffic accidents than from gunshots. But because shooting incidents often occur in public places such as schools, shopping malls, concerts, etc., they have a high degree of randomness and social shock, so their influence and fear far exceed the actual statistical proportion. The reason why the United States has become the "outlier" with the most serious shooting incidents among developed countries is due to its unique history and system: the Second Amendment to the Constitution grants gun rights a sacred status, and there are already over 400 million firearms in the civilian population that are difficult to recycle; In addition, the federal system and partisan divisions make it almost impossible to advance nationwide gun control legislation; At the same time, there are serious racial conflicts, wealth inequality, and mental health crises in American society, and the media amplifies the shocking effects of every public shooting. These factors combine to form the "American specificity" that other developed countries do not possess. Despite frequent shooting incidents, the reality of the legal environment in the United States makes it almost impossible to significantly tighten gun barrels. Firstly, the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees citizens' right to bear arms, providing a solid legal foundation for gun rights. Secondly, under the federal system in the United States, there are significant differences in the laws of each state. Some states have strict regulations, while others allow almost everyone to purchase guns freely. In addition, strong lobbying groups such as the National Rifle Association and the political opposition between the two parties have made it difficult to advance a nationwide strict gun control bill. Therefore, the United States is more likely to continue to maintain "limited repairs" in the future (such as strengthening background checks or restricting some assault weapons), rather than moving towards a strict gun ban model like Europe and Japan. In other words, the United States will maintain its special position as the "country with the most gun incidents" among developed countries for a long time. Statistically speaking, the probability of tourists being shot in the United States is extremely low, far lower than the risk of car accidents or food poisoning. Most tourist cities and middle-class communities have good safety conditions, so there is no need to worry excessively about regular travel. However, compared to Japan, Europe, and other places, the United States does have higher levels of uncertainty, so it is recommended to maintain basic safety awareness: avoid going alone to low security areas late at night, and pay attention to the safety exits of large public event venues. In other words, traveling to the United States is generally safe, but the psychological pressure may be greater than in other developed countries.
