Goodbye weapon

My American colleague Warbert and I have both seen this movie. One of Warbert’s coursework was written about this movie. Twelve people were killed in the Colunbine shooting. The murderer also specially recorded the preparation process, left it in the garage, and left clues in the car to guide the police to find the video. They hope to wake up something, although this is very stupid. Having said that, I am beginning to have an impression. I have read reports before. He said that in the United States, this is almost a turning point in the development of public schools. Since then, most middle schools have installed metal detectors and cameras, and students have been controlled as if they were in prison. "Everything you encounter when you enter the U.S. Customs, we experience the same in our own country, at the door of a public school," he said. "But I read a report saying that there are no such things in your Chinese school. Why?"

I think it's very simple. We can't find guns, and gun control is very strict. When I was in China, I had only shot six rounds of ammunition during my university military training. Other than that, I could not touch the gun. If guns are everywhere, there is no guarantee that the same problem will not occur. There is a terrible darkness in the depths of the human heart, and in a special environment, people will really do unexpected actions.

Warbert obviously disagrees with my point of view, he said, is it because the government has stronger control over schools that leads to such relative security? He said that the situation in the United States is that in many cases it dare not sacrifice civil rights, such as the right to own guns, that's why these problems arise. China does not respect these rights at all, so there are no such problems.

This is obviously wrong. I think the government's control of Chinese schools is mostly limited to examinations and speeches. Where can I manage the rest? I know a lot about the safety hazards of schools, and I don't just leave it alone? I think the key lies in how we understand crime and in what ways we can reduce the possibility of crime.

When Syracuse University enrolled in Orientation in 2002, I can still remember the words of Police Officer Williams. He said that there are generally three factors that cause crime, one is the motive of the offender, the other is the offender's behavior, and the other is the conditions of the crime. In order to protect ourselves, each of us should change the above conditions as much as possible when danger arises to get ourselves out of danger. If a beauty dresses revealingly and speaks frivolously, it may increase the other's criminal motives. If you go out alone and hang out in unsafe places, you will increase the criminal conditions of the other party. If you are drunk yourself and have no defense, you may increase the capacity of potential offenders.

Obviously, Warbert saw only one aspect. He felt that efforts should be made on students and parents to form various "intervention" programs to change students who might commit crimes from within. At the same time, it does not sacrifice everyone's right to own guns, because if one cuts down, some people can reasonably own guns, and you deprive them of their civil rights. I can understand this, but I also think, in the matter of life and death, what is civil rights? But many Americans will never support this view. I once described a legendary former Marine Doug in an article in Malone Town ( http://family.mblogger.cn/berlinf/posts/3382.aspx ) . There are more than 100 guns in his house, and when I went there, I shot enough. My classmate and Doug’s sister Susan said that his cousin Rui gave a pistol as a gift to his son who went to school in Christmas 2004. To me, this is almost unbelievable. But if you go to Wal-Mart, you will find guns for sale. In a supermarket selling children's products, clothing, and vegetables, there are guns for sale! Does this environment need to be changed? No matter how to change people's internal motivations, the effect of gun control is not as immediate.

Warbert said that it is useless for you to control guns, because people who really want to commit crimes will find a way no matter what. For example, if you want to take drugs, you will do everything possible to find drugs. If he knew about the Ma Jiajue incident, he would definitely tell me the same: people who don't have a gun would buy a sledgehammer. I think these situations are a bit special. These are human problems. However, in more cases, more people are walking on the edge of crime and non-criminal. It is a difference between crime and non-crime. After the right time, nothing may be left. In this case, if you are The external conditions create difficulties that affect their behavior and greatly reduce the possibility of crime. On the contrary, if there are drugs everywhere in my office, I cannot guarantee that one day I will not get infected either intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, as a means of mediating external conditions, gun control is absolutely necessary.

    Marilyn Manson is far more thoughtful than Charlton Heston. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if you could buy ak47 in Walmart China

    The Hollywood star Charlton Heston, who once played Benxu, turned out to be the then chairman of the American Firearms Association and an out-and-out, right-wing radical neo-conservative. His perfunctory and impatience voice really makes people sigh, the privilege of a gentleman. And fun cannot hide the self-sterilization of racial discrimination
