In the United States, a country that is keen to solve problems by force, its residents are not only free to carry guns, but even minors can be given the possibility of using firearms as long as their guardians intervene. In recent years, with the rapid development of new technologies, we have learned more and more about the news of gun-related cases in the United States through the Internet. Although there are many ways to obtain guns and they are easy to purchase, the United States** has imposed an explicit ban on citizens buying body armor. This raises a question worth digging into: Why is it easy to buy a gun in the United States, but it is illegal for a felons to buy body armor?
The U.S. Bulletproof Act stipulates that the legal responsibility to purchase body armor is carried out.
The legal framework for body armor in the United States, known as the Bulletproof Act, stipulates that the party purchasing body armor is responsible for whether it has the right to legally purchase it. Legality here means that the purchaser understands the relevant legal provisions before making a purchase to ensure that the purchaser is acting legally. Under U.S. law, a person who has been sentenced to a heavier sentence or higher is barred from buying and using body armor for life. It is expressly forbidden to smuggle body armor abroad, even if the specifications and quality are good, individuals are not allowed to do so without special approval. Some states have stricter rules on buying and selling body armor, and even selling or buying body armor online can result in prison sentences and fines.
The contradiction between guns and body armor: why control one and not the other?
The process of nation-building in the history of the United States has determined its unique social structure and values. As early as the 16th century, Britain established permanent colonies in North America, and then these 13 colonies united to issue the Declaration of Independence, and the United States began to gradually take shape. Prior to this, North America was made up of multiple tribes fighting fiercely for natural resources. In addition, the United States launched more than 200 wars after independence, most of which ended in American victories, which laid the foundation for the formation of a social atmosphere in the United States that advocated the use of force to solve problems.
The Diverse Composition of the Emigrant Home: The Birthplace of Contradictions.
The U.S. is a home that attracts talent from all over the world. Different races and ethnicities constitute a complex social structure, and contradictions are inevitable. Some contradictions can be reconciled, and some are unsolvable. Liberalism is prevalent in the United States, but once this liberalism goes to the extreme, the organizational capacity of ** declines. The United States wants to balance each other by having its people be offensive, in exchange for relative social stability.
Impact of State Institutions: Challenges of Organizational Capacity.
A strong country needs not only a solid industrial base, but also a strong organizational capacity and a citizenry that makes all arrangements be followed. However, the composition of the United States and historical reasons have led to more people choosing to go their own way, and liberalism has been rampant in the United States for a long time. Once this kind of liberalism is extreme, the ability to organize will be greatly affected.
The real problem: Stabilizing in the gap between taxes and social unrest.
The United States now has a population of more than 300 million, of which more than 2 3 people legally own guns, plus the number of people who obtained them illegally, almost 80% of American citizens own guns. A total gun ban would seriously affect U.S. tax revenues, adding to the woes of an already precarious economy. However, failure to control guns will lead to continued social unrest, increase unprovoked deaths of citizens and outsiders, and damage America's image as a "democracy." There have been more than 50,000 gun-related cases, resulting in nearly 30,000 deaths, and if the United States** fails to control guns, social unrest will affect the dominance of elites.
* The dilemma: control body armor becomes an alternative.
Faced with the gun problem, the United States** is in a dilemma. On the one hand, total control of guns would not only be opposed by citizens, but would also have a huge impact on taxes. On the other hand, failure to control guns will lead to continued social unrest and damage the country's image. Therefore, ** turned its attention to body armor, and balanced social contradictions by increasing the control of body armor and weakened the actual role of guns. On this issue, the United States is in a dilemma.
The above detailed analysis of the contradictions in the management of guns and body armor in the United States reveals why the country has strictly controlled body armor while controlling guns under the influence of history, personnel composition, national system and practical problems. This issue involves the security of the country, the stability of society and the right to freedom of the individual, and has given rise to extensive and profound reflections.
First, the historical context in which the United States was founded profoundly affects its overall social structure. As a united country with colonies, the United States experienced fierce competition and competition for resources among various colonies in the early days, which laid the foundation for the formation of a social atmosphere that advocated the use of force to solve problems. In this context, there is a tendency to achieve social equilibrium by having people own guns to ensure a relatively stable environment. This model of social construction is directly reflected in the legal provisions on gun freedom, and has become a special phenomenon in American society.
Second, the pluralistic composition of the United States makes social contradictions unavoidable. The convergence of diverse ethnic groups and cultures, as well as the various wars and struggles that have occurred in history, have caused various contradictions within the society. In order to balance these contradictions, it is more desirable for citizens to own guns to ensure a relative balance of power. However, this has also brought about the misuse of firearms and social unrest, leaving ** in a difficult situation when it comes to gun control.
Thirdly, the looseness of the State system is also one of the root causes of the problem. The idea of American liberalism has always existed, which has led to a decline in organizational capacity and difficulty in implementing an effective nationwide gun control policy. The states have more autonomy, and it is difficult to enforce the orders of **, let alone enforce them universally.
In the end, the reality of the situation puts ** in a dilemma. Full control of guns could provoke widespread social opposition while having a significant impact on taxes. However, failure to control guns will lead to continued social unrest, threatening the country's image and social order. Therefore, ** chose to indirectly weaken the role of firearms through the control of body armor to balance social contradictions.
To sum up, the contradictions in the management of firearms and body armor in the United States reflect its special history, social structure and state system. This problem is not only a dilemma at the policy level, but also a reflection of deep-seated socio-cultural and value values. By thinking deeply about this issue, we may be able to provide some useful enlightenment for solving the existing problems in American society.
