An American shop assistant shot and killed a boy who stole beer. Can Americans not carry guns to prevent similar incidents?

This can't be avoided by a person who can't hold a gun. You can't carry a gun, you can use a knife. Guns are not allowed in China, but there are still cases where people are hacked in the street and husbands kill their wives.

But the United States advocates freedom and democracy, and the death rate of gun violence in the United States ranks second in the world. Such data can be frightening. At the same time, due to the frequent shootings that caused many casualties, American schools regularly hold preventive exercises to deal with shootings.

In addition, according to "Global global peace index", among the 20 countries with the highest death rate from gun violence in the world, the United States ranks second. The report data shows that the shooting mortality rate in the United States is comparable to that in war-torn countries such as Afghanistan. According to the data, 64% of these shootings came from violent crimes, 27% were suicides and 9% were accidental shootings.

This also led to a survey conducted by the University of Washington. In 20 16, the number of deaths caused by gun violence in the world was 250,000, and more than half of the deaths came from six countries including the United States.

The terrible thing about the gun case is that you don't know if someone will pull out a gun and shoot you when you have an argument with others, which is very unfavorable to people's personal safety. You need to worry about yourself at all times.

The most important thing is that in these cases, there are accidental shootings, that is, to prevent accidents. Carrying guns in the United States can't prevent all kinds of cases, but it can reduce the probability of cases.

The clerk shot and killed a 17-year-old boy who stole beer. Maybe the boy can escape without a gun. But it is also possible that the clerk will kill the teenager with something deadly, such as a knife. In a word, Americans can't hold guns and stop some violent cases.
