America Pfuti Tsika: Kufungidzira, Fetish, kana Kutuka?

Ndamuka mangwanani ano kune nhau dzinoputsa dzekumwe kupfura nevanhu vakawanda vakaurayiwa.

Vanhu vanovhunduka (zvekare), saka tinonyaradzwa kuti izvi hazvisati zvave "ho-hum, meh" nhau. Asi kangani dambudziko iri rinofanira kuitika isu tisati taremekedza avo vakarwadziswa uye isu pachedu nekubvisa huipi hwemagariro eAmerica?

Ndakatamira makore makumi maviri nematanhatu apfuura kuUnited States, kwandakanga ndapihwa mukana wehunyanzvi. Ndakafadzwa nekuenda kune imwe nyika yaive yakamirira fungidziro uye ndakave mucherechedzo wekugamuchirwa kumamiriyoni evatorwa. Ini ndaive ndakangwarirawo nekuti America yakanga yave nemukurumbira nekuda kwe "pfuti tsika," zvombo zviripo uye pfuti, uye kupfura kazhinji uye kuuraya.

Zvaityisa kuti muvhiki rangu rekutanga pano, pakaitika kupfura muchikoro mutaundi rangu idzva, uye ini ndaifanira kupa hurukuro yakafanorongwa pamusoro pe "Mhirizhonga muAmerica." Ndakashamisika kana ichi chaingova serendipity kana chinotyisa synchronicity. Kurumidza-kumbira kune izvozvi, uye kana paine chero chinhu, mhirizhonga yepfuti munyika ino yakanyanya kuipa. Hakuna kumwe kunhu munyika, kunze kwenzvimbo dzehondo nenzvimbo dzehondo, pane nyika here ine nhamba dzinotyisa kudaro dzekukuvara nekufa nekuda kwepfuti.

Zvinokwanisika sei kuti nyika iyi yakasarudzika, ine rusununguko runoyemurika uye kubudirira, zvayakawana musainzi, kugona kwayo mune zvehunyanzvi netsamba, kuburitsa kwakakura uye hupfumi, masangano ayo anoshamisa ezvidzidzo uye nhamba yenhamba yeNobel Laureates, ine pfuti -akakonzera chiyero cherufu zvakanyanya kupfuura chero kuenzaniswa nedzimwe nyika dzakabudirira?

Huwandu hunotevera hunoshanda uye hunogoneswa, asi hunenge husingafungidzike: Paive nevanhu zviuru makumi matatu nezvishanu zvakafa zvine chekuita nepfuti muU.S. gore rapfuura. Vanhu veAmerica vane mukana wakapetwa kagumi kuurayiwa nepfuti kupfuura vanhu vari mune dzimwe nyika dzese dzakabudirira. Mwero wekuuraya une chekuita nepfuti wekuAmerican wakakwira zvakapetwa ka25, uye kuzviuraya kwakanangana nepfuti kanokwana kasere, kupfuura mune imwe nyika ine mari zhinji. IU.S. ine hafu yepfuti dzese munyika, iine huwandu hwevaridzi mu stratosphere ichienzaniswa nedzimwe nyika dzakabudirira.

Zvinosuruvarisa kutaura, tinorangarira, nekudedera, mazita ezvikoro zvaive zviitiko zvekupfura kwevanhu vazhinji mumakore mashoma apfuura: Sandy Hook; Columbine; Parkland; Virginia Tech; Saugus. . . Zvanga zvakwana? Ini ndinogona kunyora zviri nyore zvimwe zvakawanda, asi ichi chingave chinhu chinorwadza basa, uine moyo wakaremerwa.

Hapana zvatakadzidza here? Ini ndinobvunza nekuti mumavhiki makumi mana nematanhatu gore rino kusvika pari zvino, kwave kutove nekupfura kwechikoro makumi mashanu neshanu uye kupfura kwevanhu vakawanda makumi matatu nemapfumbamwe munyika ino, zvese zvine nyaya dzinoshungurudza dzemunhu nedzemhuri.

Nekudaro, ini handigone kune hupenyu hwangu ndinonzwisisa, "Sei izvi zvichiitika?!" uye "Sei kuAmerica chete?"

Sei...?

• Pfuti dzinowanikwa nyore nyore pano?
• Vezvematongerwo enyika saka vanozvidza kutonga nekutonga kuwanikwa / kuwanikwa kwepfuti?
• Kune vatongi vemitemo vakawanda here muswat (uye muhomwe) yeNational Rifle Association (NRA)?
• Icho Chechipiri Amendment (ichigonesa kubata kwemauto) kwakadzika kwazvo muAmerican psyche? (Kunyange zvakadaro, wadii kuchengeta Amendment iyi, asi wedzera mirau yekudzivirira zvombo kuti zvirege kuwira mumaoko evana kana kuvhiringidzika mupfungwa, chisimba, rusaruraganda, kana vamwe vanhu vane njodzi?)
• Semiautomatic kana yehondo zvombo zviri pachena zvinotengwa nekutengeswa, uye mune vagari vezuva nezuva?
• Panofanira kuve nekudzidzira kushingaira kwevana muzvikoro zvepuraimari, zvepakati, uye zvepamusoro uye makoreji edziviriro kubva ku "anotevera shooter" anosvika? (Uku kushoma kwekuziva-kusimudza uye kudzivirira kupfuura iko kunotyisa uye kutya-kukurudzira.)
• Varapi here, vanachiremba vezvirwere, uye mamwe masayendisiti anorambidzwa kutsvagurudza mari-kubva kumhirizhonga yepfuti, kunyangwe ichi chiri chirwere chechokwadi chehutano hweveruzhinji uye nhamo yemagariro?

Sa chiremba wepfungwa, ndinogona kutaura nechivimbo kuti hazvisi izvo kuti tine huwandu hwepamusoro hwehurwere hwepfungwa pano. Saka nei tiine pfuti nevapfuri vakawanda kudaro? Ichi chibereko cheChipiri Chigadziriswa? Nhoroondo yedu yeWest West? Kunamata kwedu kwekuzvimiririra here? Kusada kwedu kutonga kwehurumende nemirau?

Kana chiri chokwadi kuti pfuti dzinoita kuti varume (zvakanyanya kupfuura vakadzi) vanzwe kuchengetedzeka, kusimba, kana kuti zvimwe kuve nehusimbe, nei izvi zvichingoitika muAmerica chete? Nei, ipapoka, izvi zvisiri izvo kune varume muEngland, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, China, France, South Africa, kana Australia?

Isu zviripachena kuti hatigone kudzivirira kupfura kwese, asi kune humbowo hwakasimba hwekuti isu tinokwanisa kudzikisa zvakanyanya huwandu hwezviitiko zvinotyisa izvi. Munyika dzakaburitsa mutemo wakasimba wepfuti, pakave nemadonhwe akakosha mukuitika kwekuponda kwevanhu vakawanda uye zviitiko zvekuzvikuvadza uye mhirizhonga mudzimba vachishandisa pfuti.

Asi kwete muAmerica.

"MuAmerica chete" zvaiwanzotaurwa nekushamisika uye kutya. United States nguva pfupi yadarika yave kuramba ichipesana nevakabatana vekare uye nyika dzinofambira mberi nekuda kwezvikonzero zvakawanda. Kushatiswa, kusadzorwa kwezvombo pano ndeimwe yezvinhu zvinonyadzisa mukuratidzira kwenyika yedu munguva pfupi yapfuura. Chikamu chinosuwisa chetsika nemagariro edu chakaderedza zvikuru hunhu hwedu netsitsi, uye chinzvimbo chedu chehutungamiri-chakasimudzira.

Chokwadi, isu tiri nani kupfuura izvi.

Semugari, ndinoona yedu mhirizhonga mamiriro ezvinhu inotyisa, isingafungidzike, isina hunhu, ine njodzi, isinganzwisisike, uye isingafungidzike. Izvo zvinonyadzisawo, zvinonyadzisa, zvinoshoresa, uye zvinoshoresa.

Zvinonyanya kukosha, mhirizhonga yedu yakazara nepfuti haina basa uye inodzivirirwa.
