The recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, serves as a chilling reminder of how out-of-control America's gun policy has become and how deeply entrenched political violence threatens our democracy. Regardless of whom we support, such violence is unacceptable and must be condemned. The fact that a shooter, armed with an AR-style rifle, could attempt to murder a political leader in broad daylight is a damning indictment of our failure to address gun control. This incident should jolt us into recognising that our democratic process is at risk and that both parties must urgently unite to kerb this spiralling violence and champion non-violence. Implementing non-violence requires comprehensive gun control legislation, widespread education on conflict resolution, and a national commitment to fostering respectful political discourse, ensuring that violence has no place in our society.
