Omunye u-Nikolas Cruz, umshayeli weParkland, uthumele isithombe esibonisiwe (ngenhla kwesokunxele) kuye Akhawunti ye-Instagram. Usuku alukwaziwa. I i-tip ye-orange ekugcineni kwesibhamu kusho ukuthi ubambe isibhamu "se-air-soft" eshayela i-BB-like, projectiles eyindilinga eyenziwe ngepulasitiki. Intsha yaseMelika isetshenziselwa lezi zibhamu zisencane. Isikhali se-Cruz esibulalayo sibambe amahlumela a-projectile ezinyaweni ze-500 ngomzuzwana.

Igama elithi "umoya otholile" lihlanganiswa yizihlakaniphi zaseMadison Avenue ezimelela imboni yezikhali. Leli gama lidlulisela umqondo wokuthi lezi zibhamu azilimazi. Khumbula i-Ralphie ku "Indaba kaKhisimusi"? "Uzobamba ingane yakho iso!" Isibhamu se-BB uRalphie sathola uKhisimusi, i-The Daisy Red Ryder, sishaya ama-BB ku-350 amamitha ngomzuzwana.

Izibhamu ze-Airsoft zimelela izidakamizwa zokuzikhethela embonini yezikhali zaseMelika. Sekuyisikhathi eside isu lemboni kanye namabhange abo ePentagon ukumboza iminwe eminingi encane ngezindlela eziningi ezinokuthi zenzeke - kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lezo zimbangela ziyinto engokoqobo noma yangempela. Imiphumela eyingozi yezibhamu inikeza impi indlela yokusebenzisa uxhumano olunamandla, olubonakalayo emphefumulweni wengane. Mayelana nalokhu, uNikolas Cruz wayeyisisulu sesimiso esibi.

Ngoba izibhamu ze-airsoft zibukeka zifana nento yangempela - futhi ziyingozi emithethweni yazo efanele ethinta ukwenziwa, ukuthenga nobunikazi bazo.
Thola uMthetho kubika ukuthi abantu base-US kumele babe iminyaka engu-18 ubudala noma ngaphezulu ukuthenga isibhamu se-airsoft. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izibhamu ze-airsoft azihlukaniswa njengezibhamu futhi zenziwe ngokomthetho ngazo zonke iminyaka ngaphansi komthetho wesifundazwe. I-New York City, iWashington, i-Chicago, i-Chicago, ne-San Francisco i-airsoft izibhamu ngokuphelele.

Idatha kazwelonke kusukela ku-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on ukulimala okungenayo i-powder gun kubonisa ingozi ekhona yalezi zikhali. Phakathi kwe-2001 ne-2011, izibhamu ezingekho powder zalimala abantu abangu-209,981 ezweni lonke, kuhlanganise ne-145,423 abantwana abaneminyaka engu-19 noma encane, futhi izinombolo zikhuphuka ngokushesha. Phakathi kwe-2007 ne-2009 eTexas kuphela, abantu abangu-124 (kuhlanganise nezingane ze-23 ngaphansi kweminyaka engu-18) babulawa ezingozini ezibandakanya izibhamu ze-BB, izibhamu zamapulangwe nezinye izibhamu ezingekho powder.

Isibhamu se-airsoft sika-Cruz siyatholakala Amazon ngo- $ 50. Okufanayo, kodwa izibhamu ezinamandla kakhulu ze-CO2 ziyatholakala ukuthengiswa ukuze zisetshenziswe izingane ngokusebenzisa ibandla elakhiwe Uhlelo lwezokuPhathwa kwamaSulumane, I-CMP.

Isithombe esingenhla kwesokudla yisibhamu i-M1911 US Army, into yomqoqi oyigugu. Isebenze njengombango ojwayelekile ohlangothini lwamabutho ahlomile ase-United States iminyaka engama-75, kusuka ngo-1911 kuya ku-1986. Izikhali zihlonishwa izigidi. Zithembekile. Bazobulala isitha, futhi benziwe baseMelika. Namuhla, intsha eningi yaseMelika iyathandwa yilezi zibhamu ezizenzekelayo, indlela uRalphie ahehwa ngayo yisibhamu sakhe se-BB.

Konke okwenzelwe isibhamu se-M1911 kwaholela ekuphathweni kwe-Trump ukuze kulungele ukukhululwa kwezikhali kusukela e-Army's depot e-Anniston, Alabama kuya ku-CMP, futhi isekelwe ku-Anniston. Izibhamu ze-semiautomatic kufanele zithengiswe kumphakathi waseMelika. I-US imile yedwa njengesizwe esisodwa esihlinzeka ngezikhali zayo zasempi ezithengiswa emphakathini. Izizwe ezihlakaniphile zibhubhisa izibhamu ezingaphili. I-CMP ibilokhu ibuyelela izibhamu ezisetshenziselwa umphakathi kusukela ku-1903, kodwa lena okokuqala i-ejensi izobe ithengisa izibhamu. Ngokushesha, intsha efana ne-Cruz izovunyelwa ukuthenga lezi zikhali ezibulalayo, ezizenzekelayo ngokusebenzisa i-CMP ye-quasi-kahulumeni.

Nakuba uMongameli Obama egunyaze ukuthengiswa kweM1911 lapho evuma uMthetho wakhe wokugcina wokuVunyelwa kwezokuVikela kaZwelonke iminyaka emibili eyedlule, ukuphatha kwakhe kwakumele ukuthunyelwa kwe-Army ku-CMP. UMnyango Wezobulungiswa Ka-Obama ushicilele a iphepha, etholakala ngu Huffington Post, bethi izibhamu zizogcina zihlome izigebengu. Isikhathi sika-Obama i-DOJ sathi, “Umbutho wezempi ukhathazekile ngokulahleka kokuphendula kwezikhali ngemuva kokudluliselwa ku-CMP; ukwandisa ububanzi bomsebenzi we-CMP ukufaka izibhamu; kanye nemithelela engemihle engaba khona ekuphepheni komphakathi kusuka kunani elikhulu lezibhamu ezingazenzakaleli nezicashile ezizokhishwa ukuze zithengwe ngumphakathi. ” Umbutho wezempi ucaphune izibalo ze-DOJ ezilandelwe cishe izibhamu ezibalelwa ku-1,800 zalezi zibhamu ezisetshenziswa ebugebengwini minyaka yonke kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, kufaka phakathi inani elikhulu lalezozibhamu ezazingaphezulu kwezempi.

UMnyango Wezobulungiswa ngaphansi kwe-Attorney General uJeff Sessions usulele ngalolu daba.

Isilondolozi sokuqala se-Army ye-100,000 yalezi zingodozi zingasetha i-CMP ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-$ 50. ICongress ibilokhu ingathuli iminyaka engamashumi amabili edlule ngokuphathelene nokuthengiswa kwezikhali ze-CMP, isifungo sokuthi umlilo we-NRA uyamelana nomlilo.

Ngenkathi iCongress yenza i-CMP yangasese ngo-1996, ngemuva kokuthi amaRiphabhulikhi ethathe izintambo kuwo womabili la magumbi, uSenator Paul Simon (D-IL) uchaze iCMP ngokuthi “okungaqondakali, okungenakuziphendulela, okuphazamisayo kokubambisana kwe-NRA. "

Okulandelayo - i-Cruz, i-Instagram, ne-CMP njenge-dealer yesizwe sika-premier-hand dealer.
