The city of East Lansing, Michigan, USA, has witnessed another shooting incident. A gunman drove into a Mormon church with an assault rifle and opened fire on hundreds of worshippers during the service, killing dozens on the spot, and then set the church on fire. Local police stated that five people have died, and the shooter was also killed.
Shootings in American churches often occur, and they are not caused by a single reason but rather by the prevalence of firearms, a hard condition, which is combined with the deep internal contradictions in American society, the deeply rooted hatred ideology, specific violent culture, and weaknesses in security at public places, which are soft conditions. This is a tragic outcome of these factors working together. Under the current political and social structure in the United States, this issue is difficult to be fundamentally resolved in the short term.
