NguDavid Swanson, November 13, 2017, Ake sizame ngentando yeningi.

Ingabe amasosha aseMelika angase abe ngamacala okubulala abantu abaningi e-United States? Ukubuza umbuzo onjalo kunzima, kuqala ngenxa yokukhathazeka, ukubandlulula, njll, futhi okwesibini, ngoba kunzima ukuphendula.

Kubalulekile ukuphendula ngoba kubalulekile kithi ukwazi ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa kwezempi kubangele yini kulokhu kushayisana, iqiniso lokuthi (umuntu kufanele agijimele ukusho) ngeke ngandlela-thile aqede izindima ezidlalwa ubulili, izibhamu, ukugula kwengqondo, ubudlova basekhaya, ubudlova isiko, umsakazo wezindaba, ukungalingani kwezomnotho, noma yini enye.

Bukela i lolu hlu zokudubula kwabantu abaningi e-United States, omunye uyaqaphela lokhu okulandelayo:

• Amaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye ama-shootings ayenziwa ngabashayi besilisa;
• iningi lalinenkinga yezempilo yengqondo;
• ukuhlukana kobuhlanga kubonakala kufana nalokhu kubantu bonke;
• abadali balolu hlu abazange bakhathazeke ukudala irekhodi eliphelele labo abadubulayo ababebe khona empini.

Kusukela ukuxazulula impendulo, umuntu ngokushesha uthola ukuthi ukubulawa okuningi kwabantu abaningi abakudala baye bakhishwa kulolu hlu. I-War World War II uHoward Barton Unruh wabulala abantu abangu-13 ku-1949 eNew Jersey, kodwa lokho kwakusekuseni kakhulu ukuze kwenziwe kulolu hlu. Isikhulu se-Persian Gulf uTimothy McVeigh wabulala u-168 e-Oklahoma City e-1995 kodwa akazange asebenzise izibhamu. Isikhulu sasePersian Gulf uRobert Flores wadutshulwa abaprofesa bakhe abathathu eTucson, e-Arizona, e-2002, kodwa ukubulawa kwababili noma ngaphezulu kuye kwafakiwe. Ukuvinjelwa okufanayo kugcina ukubulawa kuka-US Marine Corps wokubulala uRadcliffe Haughton wabesifazane abathathu eWisconsin e-2012. Ngisho ne-DC sniper, u-Persian Gulf, u-John Allen Muhammad, owabulala i-17 endaweni yaseWashington, DC, e-2002, nomlingani wakhe, futhi esebenzisa izibhamu, akafakiwe - mhlawumbe ngoba akabulali zonke izisulu zakhe ngesikhathi esisodwa .

Ukuqhubeka nalolu hlu nokho, kufanele sikwazi ukuthola ukuthi yiziphi amaphesenti abadubula ohlwini abalandeli be-veterans, bese beqhathanisa nalabo bantu jikelele. Kodwa sikwenza kanjani lokho ncamashi? Kungaba kuhle ukubuka izibalo zabantu abaningi ngokumelene nalabo abesilisa kuphela, ngoba amaphesenti amadoda nabesifazane abangama-veteran ahluke kakhulu. Futhi ngisho nokubuka amadoda kuphela, i iphesenti abanikazi bezilwane emndenini wase-US bahluka ngokumangalisayo ngeqembu lobudala. Cishe bonke abadubulayo bangamadoda, futhi cishe wonke aphakathi kweminyaka engu-18 no-59. Ngaphezulu kwe-59 yobudala, iphesenti lamadoda ebantwini abaningi abano-veteran baxhuma kakhulu. Phakathi kuka-18 no-59 - ngokulinganisa amaphesenti ngonyaka ngamunye weminyaka - ngamaphesenti angu-14.76 wabantu base-US bangama-veteran.

Yimaphi amaphesenti ama-shooters ase-US angamadoda phakathi kuka-18 no-59 angama-veteran? Ukususa ukudubula okubili ohlwini olwenziwe ngabesifazane, nolunye okwenziwa yindoda nowesifazane, nokususa okwesishiyagalombili okwenziwa ngamadoda amadala kakhulu noma amancane ukuze angene esampula sethu, sishiywe ukudubula kwe-83 ukubukeka okukhulu ku. Ngabe ngisusa omunye owawuhlasela kwezempi yase-US ngombhoshongo ovela kwelinye izwe, njengoba kubonakala kungenalutho ukubuza ukuthi ngabe lowo mshayeli wezempi wayekade e-US. Lokho kushiya uhlu lwe-82 ukudubula.

Ngokufunda ngokushesha imibiko yezindaba ezitholakala ku-intanethi mayelana nokudubula, ngibona ukuthi cishe bonke abadubulayo bazalwa e-United States. Futhi ngishiya ohlwini lwesampula labo abambalwa ababengabokuzalwa ngaphandle, ngisho nalabo abangazange basemthethweni bajoyine isosha lase-US ababekufunayo. Futhi angizange ngifune ukuthola ukuthi ngubani abadubulayo abathola ukuqeqeshwa kwezempi kusuka kwamanye amabutho ngaphandle kwe-US Ngiphinde ngishiye uhlu labo abathi isisusa sabo sokudubula siphendulela izimpi zase-US. Futhi ngishiya ohlwini kodwa ngingabali njengabafana ababili abazama ukujoyina isosha lase-US futhi benqatshiwe, kanye nomunye owasebenza e-US Navy base kodwa ngokusobala hhayi njengelungu leNavy. Ngiyahamba ohlwini nokubala lowo oqeqeshwe ngamasosha e JROTC, futhi engingazi ukuthi ngabe uqhutshelwa yini ukuqeqesha ezempi.

Ukulandela ukusesha okusheshayo kokudubula kwe-82 ku-intanethi, ngiye ngathola ukuthi okungenani i-28 yabashayeli bebeyisosha lase-US (futhi, kuhlanganise ne-JROTC kwesinye isimo). Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngikwazi ukuqinisekisa bambalwa kakhulu abadubula njengabafana hhayi ube semasosha. Ezimweni eziningana kuye kwadingeka ngifunde izihloko eziningana ngaphambi kokuba ngikhulume ngempi. Ngaphandle kwalokho ngithole okushiwo ukuthi nginakho hhayi ube semasosha. Lokhu kungenza ngikholelwe ngokuqinile ukuthi inombolo ye-28 inikezela inani lezilwane zasolwandle kwisampula. Noma kunjalo, yi-34% yabashayeli be-mass mass base-US abayizilwane zasempi, uma kuqhathaniswa ne-14.76% kubantu jikelele ngokulingana nobulili obufanayo. Ngamanye amazwi, ama-veteran angaphezu kwamabili amathuba okuba abadubulayo, futhi mhlawumbe kunamathuba amaningi kunalokho.

Akudingeki ukuthi, lokhu kuyinani labantu abaningi, hhayi ulwazi mayelana nanoma yimuphi umuntu. Akudingeki ukuthi, ukuprofetha nokucwaswa akusizi ngalutho. Kodwa yilokho okunye okungase kube okungafani nalokhu: Ukuqeqesha abantu kwezobuciko bokubulala, ukuqala izimpi, nokuphonsa abantu abaqeqeshwe izimpi futhi behlushwa izimpi baye emphakathini ohlomile ogcwele ukungavikeleki kwezomnotho kanye nokuntuleka kwezempilo okuholela emhlabeni jikelele.

Yiqiniso kungenzeka ukuthi abantu abathambekele ekudutshulweni kwabantu abaningi nabo bathambekele ekujoyineni amasosha, ukuthi ubuhlobo buyilungiselwano hhayi imbangela. Eqinisweni, ngingahle ngimangale uma bekungekho abanye iqiniso kulokho. Kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa nokulungiswa nokunikezwa ukujwayela ukudubula okukhulu - futhi kwezinye izimo ngokungangabazeki ukuhlangenwe nakho kokudubula okukhulu futhi kuthathwa njengokuthi kuyamukeleka - kwenza kube lula ukudubula okuningi. Angikwazi ukucabanga ukuthi akukho iqiniso kulokho.

Nansi ukudubula yi-veterans ku lolu hlu: I-Texas First Baptist Church, ukudubula kwamaphoyisa ase-Florida, ukudubula kwamaphoyisa ase-Fort Lauderdale, ukudubula amaphoyisa aseBaton Rouge, ukudubula kwamaphoyisa aseDallas, ukudubula kwe-Umpqua Community College, ukudubula kweBridge Hood, i-Fort Hood ukudubula i-2, i-Washington Navy Yard ukudubula, ukudubula kwe-Sikh ithempeli lokudubula, Ukuthunjwa kwe-Seal Beach, ukudubula kwe-Fort Hood, ukudubula kwezingane zaseCarthage, ukudubula kwe-Northern Illinois, Damageplan kubonisa ukudubula, ukubulawa kukaWakefield, ukudubula kweCaltrans, ukudubula kwe-Air Force, ukudubula kukaLuigi, ukubulawa kukaWatkins Glen, i-Royal Oak eposini ukudubula, ukubulawa kukaLuby, ukudubula kwe-ESL, ukudubula kwe-United States Service Service, ukubulawa kukaSan Ysidro McDonald, ukudutshulwa kwesitolo sokudubula, ukubulawa kwe-Xerox.
