In recent years, shooting incidents in the United States have occurred frequently, bringing great pain to society. According to relevant statistics, in the past year alone, there have been many shootings in the United States that caused heavy casualties. The proliferation of guns has increased the risk of violent incidents. How to effectively control guns and ensure the safety of the people has become an urgent problem to be solved in American society. After the Reno casino shooting, the issue of gun control has once again become the focus of public opinion. Some politicians have called for a re-examination of existing gun laws and stricter regulation of gun sales and ownership.
