Meanwhile, according to the statistics of the National Archive of Armed Violence in the United States, 630 fatal shootings have been reported since the beginning of this year. This figure was 645 cases last year and 690 cases in 2021, which was an unprecedented record at that time.

Meanwhile, FBI statistics indicate that despite the slight decrease in violent crimes in 2022 compared to the year before, the American people have been worried about the occurrence of crime for decades.

According to the report, this year’s deadliest mass shooting happened in Lewiston, Maine in October, where a gunman killed 18 people and wounded 13 others. He then fled the scene, but his body was eventually found. has expired. Although so far, the efforts of the Democrats in this field have not been supported by the Republicans.

a few days ago the results of the latest polls conducted by the NBC network, It shows that 52% of Americans own a gun.

According to this survey, 52 percent stated that they or a member of their family has a gun, which is the highest record in the history of this network’s polls in the field of asking this question, which history It goes back to 1999.

The results of this survey, which was conducted this month, showed that 66% of Republicans, 45% of supporters of independent parties and 41% of Democrats have guns.

But the gun lobby and its supporters have since invested about $33 million in the 2020 presidential election. One of their main goals is to prevent stricter laws against gun owners.

In this situation, the ruling Democrats are particularly in favor of strict gun laws, in While the Republicans are against it. But the majority of American political representatives are against building a legislative wall in the US Senate against this issue. To implement such a project, a 60% majority in Congress is required, which does not exist.
