There are so many shootings in Russia, why can't we not shoot?

The title of "fighting nation" is not played with a gun, but with a fist! Although this answer is a bit of a joke (other factors are supplemented in detail below), it is also a country that can legally hold guns. The relatively few shootings in Russia are indeed related to national character.

Different national personalities: Russia is one of the countries that allow private individuals. On 20165438+1October 18, Russia also passed an amendment on gun management, relaxing gun restrictions and allowing citizens with legal gun licenses to carry legal guns for "self-defense". However, the real self-defense is to use less guns and more fists and cold weapons. Russians are honest and straightforward, and they especially like to drink too much. Therefore, daily conflicts are commonplace, but if guns are used in conflicts, they will definitely be despised, and even if they win, they will not look up.

The population composition is different: although there are more than 100 ethnic groups in Russia, most of them are Russians, and the population composition is stable and relatively simple for a long time; The United States itself is an immigrant country with a complex population composition and a long-term changing process. There is no traditional national culture, especially the contradiction between race, immigration and class. Without the limitation of traditional ideas, once the contradiction intensifies, it is easy to choose the most convenient and direct "gun" to solve it.

There are relatively few private guns: at present, Russia's total population is about 1. 1 .500 million, and the number of privately owned guns is relatively small (estimated to be about110,000), less than1person; The number of private guns in the United States exceeds 357 million, per capita 1. There is a big difference between the population base and the number of private guns, which is one of the reasons why there are fewer shootings in Russia than in the United States.

In fact, personally, there is another factor that makes people feel that there are many shootings in the United States, and that is media reports. The United States is the largest country in the world, and its every move will attract the attention of the whole world. A large number of media gather, and incidents like shootings will spread rapidly, which will also increase the exposure of American shootings to some extent.
