CNN host Jim Acosta: The problem of gun violence continues to exist, worsens, shows no signs of improvement, law enforcement agencies have not been able to change the status quo, and members of Congress and the US government have not changed the status quo. Children are about to return to school from summer vacation, and we are facing this situation again. Shooting incidents will once again become media headlines.
Some former law enforcement officers in the United States have also expressed that American politicians need to face the problem of uncontrolled gun violence and implement effective gun control policies.

Former law enforcement officer Charles Ramsey: The gun violence issue in the United States is out of control, and we must find consensus and do something together, rather than holding one press conference after another. Yes, the police did a good job at the press conference, but repeating the same thing over and over again, the current situation of gun violence will not change on its own. We need to take action to make a change.
Former law enforcement officer Ed Davis: Some American communities have become like theaters of war due to frequent gun violence, but American politicians avoid discussing it and do not take a stance on gun violence. We cannot compromise on gun control legislation. Gun control can be achieved, and if we achieve it, we will not see the current situation. There have been over 450 shootings this year that have caused multiple deaths and injuries, which is completely unacceptable, but politicians pretend to be invisible, and I really don't understand.
