I’m Ten victims of the King Soopers grocery store shooting in Boulder, Colorado. Among them, Eric Talley, 51, a police officer, the first to arrive at the crime scene, just before 3pm local time (10pm in Italy). Police detained a suspect, now in custody, but did not release his name or other details. A witness who witnessed the shooting said he heard the shots and said seeing three people lying face down, two in the parking lot and one near the door, who didn’t know if they were breathing. What appears to be two shots can also be heard in the images. The attack marks the seventh mass murder in the United States this year, following the March 16 shooting that killed eight people in three massage parlors in the Atlanta area. The double carnage, however, has shaken public opinion, overshadowing the good news coming from the vaccine front and the administration campaign.
The knot of gun control
Now the country, as you can see in the first comments on the net, on the sites
some newspapers and on television, Joe’s intervention is expected Biden. In the electoral platform of the American president there is a long chapter dedicated to gun control. We know that the sale and possession are guaranteed by Second Amendment to the Constitution. Biden does not want, and could not, unhinge him. In the United States there is no political majority that questions it (two-thirds of the deputies of each House are needed to initiate the process). But the Democratic Party has tried for years to introduce tighter restrictions in one of the most complicated and full of loopholes legislation in the entire system.
The massacres in the United States: ideas
The student movement against the massacres
In
2018 a vibrant movement was born, led by the boys and the girls who survived the massacre of 14 high school students in Parkland, Florida. It seemed the right time. Large demonstrations in Washington, legislative provisions ready in Congress. The Democratic-controlled House passed some measurements– More complete and available control over gun buyers. THE However, the bills were blocked by Republicans. that controlled the Senate. Now, with Congress in the hands of Democrats, those provisions could be passed: there is the approval of the House, the Senate is missing.
Semiautomatic weapons
Neverthelessthe history of the massacres shows us how almost always the murderer
They have used assault rifles, capable of taking repeated shots in a very short time. For some time, victims’ associations and activists have simply been calling for a ban on semi-automatic machine guns, such as theAr-15, mortal instrument of so many massacres. This will be a real change of pace, perhaps to be completed with a ban on the sale of weapons and rifles online. We’ll see if the issue of weapons will make it to Biden’s priority list.
