Christmas is basically equivalent to the Spring Festival in our country, so every year on this day, no matter where you are, the atmosphere is very peaceful.

This year's Christmas, Monet was running business with Chu Zhan in the bank, and suddenly saw a kind Santa Claus walking into the bank with a big bag and a group of children behind him.

It's a very auspicious thing to meet Santa Claus at Christmas, so the teller happily greets him, "Hello, Santa Claus!" The joy permeated the entire bank hall, and even customers who came early in the morning turned to greet him.

Unfortunately, Santa Claus was unusual, as he pulled out a pistol from his large pocket that was supposed to be full of gifts for the child, and said to the bank teller the line that all robbers use: "Hand over the money!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, because no one expected that the robbers would pretend to be Santa Claus to rob them, just like in China, there will never be a robber who pretends to be the God of Wealth to rob a bank...... (This is true, and it happened in Sisko, Texas, on December 23, 1927.) ）

At this time, a mother and daughter who wanted to ask Santa Claus for gifts walked into the bank, and the mother just said: "Look, daughter, that's Santa Claus'......", and changed her words halfway through the sentence: "Help!" Rob the bank! Then he pulled his daughter out of the bank and shouted, "Santa Claus is robbing the bank!" ”

After all, this is New York, although the location of this bank is a little remote, but the police arrived very quickly, and the robbers reacted faster, after learning that someone called the police, hastily carried a bag of money and grabbed a little girl as a hostage, and then drove to try to escape.

Naturally, he didn't run away, according to Sheriff Klein's words: "It's an unforgivable sin to ruin the children's good impression of Santa Claus!" ”

Although this reason is not in accordance with the law, it still sounds quite humane, so Monet asked again: "How did this guy come up with the idea of pretending to be Santa Claus to rob?" It's said that it's not convenient to wear this! ”

"This guy's name is Marshall Rutliffe, and according to him, the reason why he wants to pretend to be Santa Claus is because he has been in prison before, and he is afraid that he will be recognized by the police, and it is just in time for Christmas, so this guy has an idea, and he pretends to be Santa Claus to rob him. By the way, he also said that Santa's big bag is just right for money, and no one will suspect it when he walks down the road wearing it! Sheriff Klein explained.

"Uh, okay, but I have to say this guy is quite creative!" Monet commented a little speechlessly.

"By the way, Tony, you weren't hurt this time, were you?" Sheriff Klein asked.

Monet waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, Chu Zhan was by my side at that time!" ”

"I thought you'd rush up when something like this happened!" Sheriff Klein quipped.

"Chu Zhan and I didn't have guns at that time, and there were so many hostages at that time, without the certainty of the uniform, we didn't dare to provoke the robbers, in case he shot hostages wantonly because of this, it would be bad!" Monet explained.

Then he complained: "Actually, I really don't understand, why doesn't the government control guns?" If these robbers didn't have guns in their hands, wouldn't this vicious crime be mitigated? ”

Sergeant Klein replied with a wry smile: "This matter is more complicated, in fact, the most supportive of gun bans are our police, after all, we are the first line of firepower against criminals, if they don't have guns in their hands, then we can be a lot safer and reduce a lot of casualties, but from the current point of view, this is almost an impossible thing to do."

First of all, there is a tradition of individual gun ownership in the United States, which can even be traced back to the Revolutionary War, because at that time it was the vast number of militias with guns that won the War of Independence, so banning guns is contrary to tradition, which is a moral obstacle.

Let's talk about the difficulties in reality, according to incomplete statistics, there are about hundreds of millions of guns in the United States now, how can you recycle and destroy these guns? How many people would be willing to turn in their guns? And because there is no accurate data, he said that there is no or just said that there is only one but how many are hidden, how can we check? Don't waste your time and energy here!

And there are also some guns that belong to collectibles and souvenirs, and this kind of gun is not collected? If you accept it, it's a little unkind, but if you don't collect it, the gun is only well maintained, even if it's a hundred years, it can still kill people, the difference is just one shot or two shots!

Besides, guns are personal items, should your government compensate for their compulsory confiscation? But if it is compensated, what a lot of money does this have to be, and who will pay for this money?

Finally, since it is impossible to confiscate all the guns on the market, it is better to allow everyone to own guns, otherwise if only the bad guys take guns and the good guys don't take guns, how can the safety of the good guys be guaranteed? We police can't be around everyone 24 hours a day!

I haven't counted the smuggled guns, not to mention anywhere else, just our long border with Mexico, what can't be smuggled?

By the way, if guns are banned, it will definitely affect the interests of those arms dealers, and now that there is no war, if guns are banned again, then what do they rely on to make money? And the government they control will never pass such a bill! ”

"So, what if I don't want to bring a gun?" Monet asked again.

Sheriff Klein stretched out his hands: "That is, you give up the right to protect yourself, and we can't help it!" ”

Then he said: "So I think the current way is still okay, although guns are not banned, but we control the sale of bullets, and a gun without bullets is not a wooden stick that is not in hand!" ”

"Although what you say seems to have some truth, I still hope to live in a country where guns are banned." Monet said.

Sheriff Klein shrugged and said, "To be honest, I hope so, but even if guns are banned, I don't see any country that can truly achieve a guns-free civilian population!" ”

Monet said in his heart: "In another thirty years, you will be able to see such a country!" ”
