Abstract:It is well known that the United States is a nation where people can possess weapons freely. Although guns have frequently used in cases of violent crime as deadly weapons, they have brought both the sense of security and pride in American people’s mind. Recently, gun violence has increasingly affected on teenagers’ psychology, threatened personal security, and even stunted social safety. It is necessary to understand the reasons why Americans have rights to hold guns legally and why there are no proper ways to reduce gun violence though it has happened frequently in America. There is still a long way to go for the U.S. government to get the guns controlled effectively. In this paper, it is constructively suggested to get a reasonable channel to get rid of gun violence in today’s America through probing the influence of gun violence on American society and the attitudes of Americans towards guns. To get a better understanding of the root of the disputes on gun control, this paper focuses on the solutions of gun control policy in America and its influence on American society. However, gun violence, one of the most typical American-style social problems, has made the U.S government suffered a lot for a long time. So for the U.S. government, the effective control for guns is still a big challenge to face up with.

摘要:众所周知，美国是持枪自由的国家。枪支带给人们安全感，也带给人们自豪感，因为拥有武器是自由与身份的象征。然而，作为一种致命武器，枪支被频繁使用在暴力犯罪案件中。近年来，枪支暴力事件对青少年的心理状态，公民的个人安全，甚至对美国的社会安定产生重大影响。为了寻找解决美国当前枪支暴力问题的合理方法，了解为何美国公民有权合法持枪是非常有必要的，分析枪支暴力在美国大肆盛行，却没有一个有效的方式减少枪暴。对于美国政府而言，枪支控制的最终实现仍然面临漫漫长路。因此，本文的主要研究目的是，基于美国人民对于枪支的态度，分析枪支暴力对美国社会的影响，以找到合理的方法解决枪支暴力。(为了更好地了解枪控之争的根源，本文重点研究了美国联邦政府枪支管制的政策及其枪支暴力对美国社会产生的影响。然而，作为美国最典型的社会问题之一，枪支犯罪已经困扰了美国政府很长一段时间。因此，实行有效地枪支控制措施，是美国政府长期面临的巨大挑战。
