Rising armed violence in America So much so that every week we see bloody shootings somewhere in the United States. These shootings in public places such as schools, shopping malls and churches have increased dramatically.

It is said that the high number of shootings in America has caused people’s anxiety and insecurity and It has started many political debates. Critics accuse pro-gun Republican extremists of treacherous collaboration with the gun lobby.

In recent years, anti-gun lobby groups have gained influence in America, but in At the top of politics, not much has been done yet due to the balance of power in the Senate and systemic constraints. So the Republicans are still on the side of the gun owners and the Democrats are getting nowhere with their projects. Some say, Biden could simply issue executive orders, or declare a public health emergency, and take countermeasures given the toll of gun violence. However, in both cases, this would be easy to undo and the next election is only a few months away.

National Rifle Association of America ( NRA) is one of the most powerful non-military organizations in this country that drives the interests of gun owners and those who deem it necessary.

The association may have lost some of its influence in recent years and may not be as financially powerful as it was in 2016, when it spent about $54 million on the presidential campaign. 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.
