On February 15, 2024, the Kansas City** incident in the United States resulted in one death. Biden issued a statement on the recent incident, saying that the incident should shock and shame us and call for action. Biden urged Congress to take legislative action to tighten gun control to prevent similar tragedies from happening again. The incident occurred during a parade by Kansas City fans celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory, and one person was killed and 21 injured, eight of whom were in life-threatening condition. **Three suspects have been detained, but their motives are unknown.
It is reported that the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago has contacted the local police station to confirm that no Chinese citizens were injured in this ** incident. The consulate said it would closely monitor the development of the incident and provide necessary consular protection and assistance. The international community strongly condemns this incident. UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a statement calling on countries around the world to strengthen gun control to reduce the occurrence of similar violence. Guterres said that gun violence has become a global problem that requires the joint efforts of the international community to solve it.
Large-scale incidents frequently occur in the United States, which pose a great threat to people's security. Although some states have taken steps to strengthen gun control, overall, there are still many loopholes and deficiencies in gun control measures in the United States. The United States and Congress should strengthen supervision and control, restrict the production and sale of aggressive guns, promote gun safety education and training, raise public awareness of gun violence and prevention awareness, and the international community should also strengthen cooperation to jointly combat transnational gun smuggling and trafficking activities to reduce the occurrence of gun violence at the source.
We cannot allow this tragedy to excuse the inaction of the White House and Congress. We must take action to strengthen gun control and protect the lives and safety of our citizens. This is not only a consolation to the victims and their families, but also a responsibility and responsibility to all the American people and the international community.
