China News Network, March 3 According to the latest data released by the US "Gun Violence Archive" website on the 29th, 28,2023 people have died from gun violence in the United States in 9990. The New York Times reported that US President Biden bluntly said that he was unable to deal with the harm caused by gun violence in the United States.

On the 27th, a school shooting occurred in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, and the gunman killed three children and three adults. Asked by the media what action would be taken to prevent a repeat of mass shootings, Biden said he had fully exercised his executive authority to address all gun-related matters within his reach.

The New York Times commented that Biden's statement was shocking, which means that he has basically "surrendered" in the face of one of the most difficult problems in American society.

Speaking at the event in North Carolina, Biden said "Congress must act [on gun violence]" and said "I can't do anything but plead with Congress to take reasonable action." ”

The president urged Congress to pass an assault weapons ban and said efforts should be made to prevent "weapons of war" from falling into the wrong hands that could harm children or others.

Biden said he wanted to show people who was not contributing to gun violence, adding: "Inaction will pay a moral price." ”

Presidential historian Mark Updegrove analyzed that the president's public admission of "powerlessness" is actually putting pressure on Congress.

Quinton Lucas, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Criminal Justice Committee, said the president's remarks reflected the "deep frustration" of many Americans.

The New York Times pointed out that for more than a decade, the United States has almost reached a stalemate on major reforms related to gun laws. In Biden's first two years in office, despite Democrats' majorities in both houses of Congress and unsuccessful passage of an assault weapons ban, it is undoubtedly more difficult to make progress on gun reform today, when Republicans have a majority.

On the 28th, Democrats again called for the passage of relevant legislation on gun safety, but Republicans made it clear that they opposed assault weapons bans and other "radical measures."

Sen. John Thune, Republican of South Dakota, said: "It's too early to legislate. He believes that more investigations are needed to gather more facts.

The US "Gun Violence Archive" website posted on social media on the 28th that in the 2023 days since 87, mass shootings have occurred in 28 states (and Washington, D.C.), a total of 131. The total number of gun deaths in the United States since 2023 has reached 9990,0, including 11 children aged 59 to 12, 17 adolescents aged 344 to 7500, and nearly <>,<> injuries.
