Chikhalidwe cha Mfuti ku America: Kutengeka, Fetish, kapena Temberero?

Ndadzuka m'mawa uno ndikumva nkhani yoti kuwombera kwina kuli ndi anthu angapo.

Anthu ali ndi mantha (panonso), chifukwa chake timalimbikitsidwa kuti izi sizinakhalebe nkhani za "ho-hum, meh". Koma zoopsa izi zimachitika kangati tisanalemekeze omwe adazunzidwayo komanso tokha pothetsa nkhanza zaku America izi?

Ndinasamukira ku United States zaka 26 zapitazo, komwe ndidapatsidwa mwayi waluso. Ndidachita chidwi ndikusamukira kudziko lomwe lidayimilira zamatsenga ndikulandiridwa kwa mamiliyoni ambiri ochokera kumayiko ena. Ndinalinso wochenjera chifukwa Amereka anali atatchuka chifukwa cha "chikhalidwe chawo cha mfuti," zida zankhondo zomwe zimapezeka mosavuta, komanso kuwomberana mfuti ndi kuphana.

Zinali zopanda mantha kuti sabata yanga yoyamba kuno, kusukulu kwathu kunali kuwomberana, ndipo ndimayenera kukakonzekereratu za "Chiwawa ku America." Ndidadzifunsa ngati uku kungokhala kusefukira kapena zoopsa. Pitani patsogolo mpaka pano, ndipo ngati zingachitike, ziwawa mfuti mdziko muno ndizowopsa. Kulibe kwina kulikonse padziko lapansi, kupatula malo ankhondo ndi madera ankhondo, kodi pali dziko lomwe lili ndi ziwopsezo zowopsa komanso zakufa chifukwa cha mfuti.

Zingatheke bwanji kuti dziko lokhalokha, lomwe lili ndi ufulu wambiri komanso kuchita bwino kwake, zomwe apeza mu sayansi, zaluso zake zaluso ndi zilembo, zopindulitsa kwambiri ndi chuma, mabungwe ake ophunzitsira odabwitsa komanso nambala ya Nobel Laureates, ili ndi mfuti - adayambitsa kuchuluka kwaimfa kuposa kuyerekezera ndi mayiko ena otukuka?

Ziwerengero zotsatirazi ndizovomerezeka komanso zowona, komabe sizingaganizidwe: Panali anthu 35,000 ophedwa ndi mfuti ku US chaka chatha. Anthu aku America ali ndi mwayi wophedwa ndi mfuti maulendo 10 kuposa anthu akumayiko ena onse otukuka. Chiwerengero cha anthu ophedwa ndi mfuti ku America ndiochulukirapo kasanu ndi kawiri, ndipo kudzipha komwe kumachitika chifukwa cha mfuti kumawirikiza kasanu ndi kawiri, kuposa dziko lina lililonse lomwe limapeza ndalama zambiri. US ili ndi theka la mfuti zonse padziko lapansi, okhala ndi anthu wamba mu stratosphere poyerekeza ndi mayiko ena otukuka.

Zachisoni kunena kuti, tikukumbukira, ndikunjenjemera, mayina a masukulu omwe anali malo owomberana mfuti mzaka zingapo zapitazi: Sandy Hook; Columbine; Parkland; Virginia Chatekinoloje; Saugus. . . Zinali zokwanira? Nditha kulemba mindandanda mosavuta, koma uwu ungakhale ntchito yopweteka kwambiri, ndi mtima wokhumudwa kwambiri.

Kodi sitinaphunzirepo kalikonse? Ndikufunsani chifukwa m'masabata 46 chaka chino pakadali pano, panali kuwomberana kwa sukulu 45 komanso kuwomberana ndi mfuti 369 mdziko muno, zonse zokhala ndi nkhani zowawa zaumwini komanso mabanja.

Chifukwa chake, sindingathe kumvetsetsa, "Izi zikuchitika chifukwa chiyani?!" ndipo "Chifukwa chiyani ku America kokha?"

Chifukwa chiyani ...?

• Kodi mfuti zikupezeka mosavuta kuno?
• Kodi andale safuna kuwongolera ndi kuwongolera mfuti?
• Kodi opanga malamulo ambiri ali m'manja (ndi m'thumba) a National Rifle Association (NRA)?
• Kodi Lamulo Lachiwiri (lolola gulu lankhondo) lakhazikika mu psyche yaku America? (Ngakhale zili choncho, bwanji osasunga Kosinthaku, koma onjezerani malamulo kuti zida zisagwe m'manja mwa ana kapena kusokonezeka kwamaganizidwe, achiwawa, atsankho, kapena anthu ena owopsa?)
• Kodi zida zamasewera kapena zankhondo zimagulidwa poyera ndikugulitsidwa, komanso m'manja mwa nzika zamasiku onse?
• Kodi payenera kukhala maphunziro ophunzitsira ana m'masukulu oyambira, apakatikati, komanso apamwamba ndi makoleji kuti atetezedwe kwa "wothamangayo" yemwe adza? (Izi sizikulitsa kuzindikira komanso zoteteza kuposa momwe zimakhalira zowopsa komanso zoyambitsa mantha.)
• Kodi madokotala, akatswiri azachipatala, ndi asayansi ena aletsedwa kuchita kafukufuku wothandizidwa ndi feduro pankhani zachiwawa zamfuti, ngakhale uwu ndi mliri wowona wokhudza zaumoyo wa anthu komanso mavuto azikhalidwe?

Monga katswiri wazamisala, ndinganene motsimikiza kuti sizikutanthauza kuti tili ndi matenda apamwamba pano. Nanga bwanji tili ndi mfuti komanso oponya mivi ambiri? Kodi izi ndi gawo la Kusintha Kwathu Kwachiwiri? Mbiri Yathu Yakumadzulo? Kodi ndikulambira kwathu kwaumwini? Kusakondera kwathu kuwongolera ndi malamulo aboma?

Ngati zili zowona kuti mfuti imapangitsa amuna (makamaka kuposa akazi) kumverera otetezeka, amphamvu kwambiri, kapenanso kukhala achiwerewere, bwanji izi zili zofunikira ku America kokha? Nanga bwanji izi sizili choncho kwa amuna ku England, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, China, France, South Africa, kapena Australia?

Mwachiwonekere sitingaletse kuwombera konse, koma pali umboni wamphamvu kuti titha kuchepetsa kwambiri zoopsa izi. M'mayiko omwe akhazikitsa malamulo okhwima a mfuti, pakhala pali madontho akulu pakachitika kupha anthu ambiri komanso munthu aliyense podzivulaza komanso nkhanza zapakhomo pogwiritsa ntchito mfuti.

Koma osati ku America.

"Ku America kokha" ankanenedwa modabwa komanso mwamantha. United States posachedwapa yakhala ikutsutsana kwambiri ndi omwe adagwirizana nawo kale komanso mayiko opita patsogolo pazifukwa zambiri. Kugwiritsa ntchito zida molakwika, kosalamulirika pano ndi chimodzi mwazinthu zoyipitsa zomwe dziko lathu laposachedwa. Gawo lomvetsa chisoni ili la chikhalidwe chathu lachepetsera chikhalidwe chathu ndi chifundo, komanso udindo wathu wotsogolera kamodzi.

Zachidziwikire, ndife abwino kuposa awa.

Monga nzika, ndimawona kuti ziwawa zathu zamfuti ndizowopsa, zosaganizirika, zachiwerewere, zowopsa, zosamveka, komanso zosaganizirika. Zimakhalanso zochititsa manyazi, zochititsa manyazi, zofooketsa, komanso zonyazitsa.

Chofunika koposa, nkhanza zathu zankhondo zomwe zili paliponse ndizosafunikira komanso zitha kupewedwa.
