Chapter 156 Gun Argument

This is also quite interesting. The drowning was Yumiko, a Japanese girl. The first reaction was black Jordan, who jumped into the water, and the first to save people was white Tom.

After Tom rescued Yumiko, he proudly laughed at Jordan: "Haha, Jordan, although I'm not as explosive as you, you are much inferior in swimming."

Jorden was not convinced. He opened his mouth and his big white teeth exposed: "In addition to swimming, you can choose any other events. Let's have a PK?"

This attracted everyone's interest. One of the young people cited his conclusion: "The reason why blacks run faster, farther and higher than whites and yellow people is that black women's pregnancy is one week shorter than whites, and whites are one week shorter than yellow people, and this week is considered Babies are used to develop the brain, so the latest born yellow baby has the largest brain capacity, and black babies have the smallest brain capacity. Therefore, the narrow hips of black women are obviously more conducive to running and jumping.

Another girl retorted: "That's because the proportion of hormones in black blood is higher than that in white and yellow people. Black babies develop muscles and bones the earliest, and whites and yellow people have to postpone this time. Why do black people have good muscles and strength, but their throwing results in track and field are very poor? That's because the center of gravity of black athletes is too high and the reaction force is too small. The reason for the poor swimming performance of black people: black people have the smallest chest, so the buoyancy is low.

Looking at Zhang Ping, he was stunned. Blair smiled and explained to him that these students were all elites of the University of California, and it was not surprising that they could say these endlessly. Like Jordan and Tom, a top student in the Department of Finance at the University of California, they have a good relationship with each other, but they often debate on some aspects.

Zhang Ping shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's all too awesome. I have to say that black people are not good at swimming. The most important reason is that the environment of their ancestors doesn't have much water at all, so naturally they don't play with water. Hey hey, whatever you say, just kidding."

However, the debate slowly extended from the topic of ethnic movement, talking about the gun murder case on campus some time ago. Zhuang Yan reacted fiercely and said that the United States should ban individuals from holding guns, or there would not be so many violent incidents, leading to various tragedies.

Tom shook his head repeatedly and said, "Hearring a gun is the freedom and power of citizens, and the government cannot casually deprive this gifted power. I was asked to recite this passage when I was very young:

We believe that the following truth is self-evident: all people are created equal, and the creator gives them a number of inalienable rights, including the right to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. In order to protect these rights, people establish a government between them, and the legitimate power of the government is generated with the consent of the governed. When any form of government is destructive to these goals, the people have the right to change or abolish it in order to establish a new government; the principles on which it lay the foundation and the way it organizes power make the people think that only in this way can they be most likely to achieve their security and happiness. For the sake of prudence, the government that has been established for many years should not be changed for minor and short-term reasons. All past experience also shows that human beings would rather tolerate any suffering as long as they can bear it, and have no intention of abolishing the government they have long been accustomed to for their own rights and interests. However, when a series of abuses and exorcisms occur in pursuit of the same goal, proving that the government is trying to put the people under authoritarian rule, then the people have the right and obligation to overthrow the government and establish new guarantees for their future security - this is the situation of these colonies in the past. It is also the reason why they now have to change the previous government system.

This declaration of independence is the reason why we in the United States allow private individuals to hold guns. We believe that tyranny is more terrible than the criminal offence caused by the possession of firearms. The American people have the right to retain the power and ability to resist tyranny.

Zhang Ping noticed that when Tom recited the Declaration of Independence, all the Americans present looked serious and couldn't help chanting together. In the minds of the elites of these young Americans, the power of this declaration is so profound. This made Zhang Ping's heart deeply shocked.

At this time, another white man said disdainfully, "This is just a superficial reason. In fact, the so-called uncontroll gun is nothing more than being controlled by the interests of those arms dealers and gangsters. Without their promotion, gun management would never be as chaotic as it is now, and tragedies in society will not have happened again and again. This is Beru, an international student from France.

Zhuang Yan attached to his argument and then said, "That's right. I ask you, do you dare to go shopping casually every night? If you don't have weapons in your car, do you dare to go on the road casually?

Tom retorted, "Yes, you have some truth. But for us Americans, possession of guns is our power. If these are the side effects that follow, we would rather bear the disadvantages of this side effect than lose this power. Do you know?

Before World War II, the German people were also legally armed. But after Xitler came to power, he first registered the guns, and then managed to gradually confiscate the guns. Then, those poor Jews had no choice but to wait for death in the face of the heavily armed SS. My father told me that the loss of self-defense weapons was one of the tragic causes of the Jewish nation.

I also hope never to use these guns. However, you should know that a gun is not a tool, a gun is a right.

Jordan interrupted, "Yes, Tom is right. Have you noticed that the text about guns in the Second Amendment to the Constitution is very particular. It does not mean that the Constitution gives people the right to have weapons, but that the people's right to possess and carry weapons is inviolable. The two ways of speaking are different. That is to say, the founders of the United States believe that this right is not a gift to the people by anyone, but a natural human right. What the Constitution does is only stipulating that no one has the right to violate this right.

For the first time, Jordan and Tom reached a united front here.

After hearing this, Zhuang Yan and Zhang Ping fell into meditation: Yes, this is a natural human right. If the people of China can also own guns, will there be those strong demolitions and intrusion into private houses in the middle of the night? I'm afraid not. But is our country suitable for this kind of national situation?

If migrant workers have guns, will there be arrears of wages? If the small vendor has a gun, will the urban management still mess with it? If citizens have guns, thieves, road robbers, robbers... Do you still dare to be hard?

If *** has a gun... Anyway, many domineering behaviors do not exist now.

The deterrent power of the gun can be imagined. But once the gun ownership is released, it is unimaginable what the real consequences will be. It may be a disaster, or it may be like the United States. Who knows?

Beru nodded and said, "We French have strict legal restrictions on private possession of weapons. Anyone who wants to hold a weapon must go through strict * review by the police and the gendarmerie. After passing, the district officials can issue him a qualification certificate. During the inspection process, the police will strictly check whether the applicant has a criminal record.

In most cases, gun owners must also pass a technical test for the use of weapons, and they must also ensure that weapons can be safely stored. Unless it is a target shooting practice, the weapon cannot be brought out. Only when the above conditions are met can the applicant take his or her qualification certificate to the munitions store to buy guns. In France, people with weapons qualification certificates can buy multiple guns at the same time, but the types of purchase are at different levels and there are strict restrictions. Ha ha, Americans should learn from us French.

Yumiko, who was rescued, also interrupted: "A few more than 200 years ago, the U.S. Constitution of 1789 allowed citizens to legally hold guns. The threshold for amending the constitution in the United States is quite high. There have been only 27 amendments in more than 200 years, so if the United States wants to ban guns, it must first amend the constitution. This topic of private gun holding is too **, and I'm afraid it is difficult to pass. Unlike your country of China, there have been five versions of the Constitution since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, and there are countless constitutional amendments. It changes almost every year. Ha ha, the constitution is nothing to you.

Hearing this, Zhang Ping raised his eyebrows and stared at the Japanese woman. Zhuang Yan said unconvincedly, "Do you Japanese respect the Constitution?" Yumiko, you are studying law. Recently, there are always people in your country who are keen to amend the constitution and want to change the tone of pacifism and take the path of militarism again. Is it respect for the constitution?

Yumiko was unwilling to show weakness and retort: "It is precisely because of the respect for the country and the constitution that we have to amend the constitution. Our Japanese economic and political strength are extremely unmatched, which is unfair and an insult to the Japanese people.

Zhuang Yan sneered: "Insult, this is the price. Why didn't the Japanese say insults when they engaged in the Sanguang policy? Why didn't you say insult when you bombed Pearl Harbor? This is the price. Why can the Germans quickly come out and regain the respect of the world in the same defeated country? And you have always been entangled in history and can't frankly admit the sins you have committed. That's the price!"

Yumiko wanted to say something else, but Blair changed the topic and said with a smile, "Okay, the debate is suspended!" Now it's time for us to enjoy delicious food!"

More than a dozen men and women also felt a little dry and rushed into the big wooden house.

The food prepared by Blair is quite rich, and it is obviously carefully prepared. Everyone sat down and praised Blair with their most beautiful words.

Xiaoru sat next to Zhang Ping and looked at the opposite side of Bei Lu and Jordan chatting and laughing. Zhuang Yan and Yumiko did not quarrel again just now, and exchanged their views on delicious food in front of them as if nothing had happened. I can't help laughing and saying, "These people are really interesting. What I just said is that they are going to fight, and now they talk and laugh, and their faces change so fast."

Zhang said with a faint smile, "This is the difference. Their best profession is politicians. On the surface, what they do behind their backs can be completely different. Dissidents may kill good friends in private. Who can be sure? So, the two of us can't be a qualified politician.

However, in Zhang Ping's heart, there was a faint idea. For Zhuang Yan, the argument just now made Zhang Ping very interested in her. This woman is not simple. If she can gradually enter the political arena of China, what will happen? Is it a good thing or a bad thing for her?
