On May 24, local time, 21 people, including 18 children, were killed in a serious shooting at Rob Elementary School in Uwald, Texas.
It was the deadliest elementary school shooting in the United States since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, nearly a decade ago.
According to US media reports, as of May 12, 15,569 people have been killed in gun violence in the United States this year.
Last year, 20,726 people died from gun violence in the United States.
In just five months of this year, gun violence has already surpassed three-quarters of last year's death toll, and gun violence is on the rise in the United States.
Gun violence is intertwined and intertwined with many issues such as social inequality, racism, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States.
Constrained by the reality of American money politics and polarized politics, the proliferation of guns has been a stubborn problem for many years, and people have paid a heavy price for it with their lives.
The right to life is the greatest human right.
A single shot shattered the so-called illusion of "everyone enjoys inalienable freedom", prompting people to deeply reflect on American-style human rights, democracy and freedom.
