Recently, a serious shooting incident took place at a private elementary school in Nashville, the capital of the state of Tennessee, in the United States. A 28-year-old former student opened fire and injured six people, capturing public attention. In light of this, people wonder if the US government will take action to prevent further shooting incidents, although the outcome seems predictable.

On March 27th, according to the police, a 28-year-old transgender individual named Audrey Hale was armed with two assault rifles and a handgun at a private elementary school in Nashville. They shot and injured six people, including three children aged only 9 years old, as well as three staff members.

After the incident, a mother of one of the students expressed her anguish, saying, "Why is this still happening? Why are our children still dying?" Raumesh Akbari, a Democratic senator from Tennessee, responded to this by stating that gun ownership does not equate to freedom and that the presence of shootings makes him live in fear every day.

However, despite the deep dissatisfaction among the victims' families and many others regarding gun violence and their questioning of the government, it seems that their concerns have fallen on deaf ears.

Looking at the recent years of gun cases in the United States, it is undeniable that tragedies continue to unfold. This shooting incident is just the tip of the iceberg among numerous campus gun cases. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, data has shown that gun violence has remained unabated, with countless lives lost to shootings. Despite mounting pressure on the US government, they have failed to take effective action to curb the illegal use of firearms.

According to data released on the 28th by the Gun Violence Archive, a website tracking gun violence in the United States, there have been 131 mass shootings in 28 states (and Washington, D.C.) within the first 87 days of 2023. The total number of deaths due to firearms in the United States since the beginning of 2023 has reached 9,990, including 59 children aged 0 to 11 and 344 teenagers aged 12 to 17. The total number of injuries is nearly 7,500.

In response to the recent school shooting, President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. expressed to the media, "We have to put more effort into protecting our schools so that they don't become prisons... I once again urge Congress to pass my assault weapons ban."
