American Fortune Life

Chapter 1714: A Family

“Oh, my God! It was a disaster. ”

Andy was shocked to hear Taylor suddenly screaming and shouting in a sad, crying voice when he had been chatting to SAO himself and was upset and unwilling to end the conversation.

“Honey, what's wrong with you? What's going on here? ”

“God, it's not me, it's New York State, you, turn on the TV and watch, NBC TV... ”

Hearing Taylor sound a little sad, Andy took his phone and left the seat, "Relax, don't worry...” While comforting Taylor with some emotion, he quickly walked into the conference room, picked up the remote plugged into the base, opened the TV screen wall, and found NBC TV.

“ A gunman stormed into the Immigration Service Center in Binghamton, New York, United States, shooting and taking hostages. The incident as a whole has so far resulted in 13 deaths and 4 serious injuries.

The Association is known to be a service provider for immigrants and refugees... At least 12 people were shot and wounded while trying to escape when the shooter entered the building through the front door. After entering the immigration centre, the killer opened fire on two front desk personnel, one of whom was killed and the other pretended to be dead, then climbed to the table and called the police. The police reacted within two minutes.

Police say up to 41 people may have been taken hostage, and the killer blocked the back door with his car, blocking a possible escape route for the hostages. Some were hiding in various parts of the building, 15 in a cupboard and 26 in a boiler room.

This is another vicious shooting following the killing of eight people, including a nurse, and the wounding of three others, in an advanced sanatorium in Carthage Township, Moore County, North Carolina, on March 29, last month. ”

In live television, the police, police cars and ambulances, and chaotic crowds, live cars and helicopters from major television stations are all surrounded by a service center building, and the NBC is covering all the air, land scenes, and the host is circulating all the information about the matter.

“Shet! ”

Andy looked at the victims in the playback scene who had been lifted out of white cloth, and he couldn't help but scold them with an ugly look. To be honest, two such vicious shootings in a week really challenged people's psychological endurance, and there really was no safety!

Eight shootings have occurred in the United States in the seven months that have elapsed since August '08, and the shooting that killed so many people today in New York State is undoubtedly hearsay.

“Honey, listen to me. Stabilize your emotions. Listen to me. You call your agent around right now, you use your INS to denounce criminals, you mourn the victims, you express your grief and shock, you watch your language, you understand? ”

To be honest, Andy really doesn't know how to comfort Tyler on the phone in shock and grief, maybe find her something to do and distract her is the best way to do it right now.

“Well, um, I know, I'll call her right away, Andy, I, I'm a little scared... ”

Andy rubbed his nose beam helplessly, and that's how it is. Every time a shock occurs, Americans feel safe and the gun-controlled cry goes up, "Honey, don't worry, it's okay. The bodyguards I've arranged for you are the best professional elite in the world. Trust them, they'll keep you safe! ”

“Um... ”

“Honey, I'm gonna hang up first, and there's a call coming in, and I'm probably gonna be busy next...” Andy looked at another ringing phone and apologized to Taylor.

“Well, you go ahead, I'll call the agent, I'll call you later.” Tyler's emotions were somewhat sad, he said.

“Okay, take care of yourself...” When Andy finished, he hung up and picked up another call. “Grandpa... I'm watching. ”

“This is a tragic day for New York State! ”

Hearing old Smith on the phone sounded a little low, Andy laughed helplessly: "Yeah, but the tragedy has happened, and the key is to get the case investigated and cleaned up as soon as possible. ”

“I will actively follow the progress of the investigation... Andy, before I call you, I just got off the phone with Pierre, CEO of the Rifle Society. ”

After listening to Old Smith, Andy frowned slightly and asked knowingly: “What's that saying?" The only way to stop bad guys with guns is to have good guys with guns. ”Crazy? ”

Every time a serious shooting occurs, people look at the National Rifle Association of America. It is the largest gun holding association in the United States, with 30 million permanent members, a vast array of intelligent people, opposed to gun control.

“Oh, that's him, and he wants to meet you through me and express great goodwill and support for our Smith family on behalf of the Rifle Association.” Old Smith didn't cover it up, and he was perfectly clear about the slightest antipathy in his grandson's questioning, so let's get this straight.

Andy couldn't help but pull the corner and say, "Well, Grandpa, what do they want?" ”

It has to be said that the National Rifle Association of the United States has been able to move from its earliest gun training and "interest" in gun safety to what is now a powerful lobbying group. In addition to having many elite generals with it, they are willing to brainwash what they perceive as the Second Amendment to the Constitution. And there's the fact that it and powerful arms dealers really don't want to smash money, and in the United States, they have a huge impact on gun legislation.

“Opinion! After this shooting, discussions on gun control will be raging again, and Pierre hopes that your media kingdom will remain at least neutral and willing to pay a price, such as a one-year advertising contract for television, paper and websites under its auspices. ”

“Oh, big pen!” Andy's mouth went up, and the smile on his face didn't tell if it was ridiculous or sincere.

“They also had to do their utmost, after all, what the Rifle Association is most famous for today is lobbying. Moreover, Americans held opinions on gun control, resulting in every gun control discussion becoming a“ dead end ”. Son, over the years, combined with the situation around the world, analyzed and analyzed, my conclusion is that" guns are the culture of American bones, not that they can be traded for. ”" Old Smith had a very clear attitude about gun control, after all, he was born and grew up in Texas, and sometimes went out without a gun on his waist.

Well, Andy's got a little bit of a problem with gun control, and although he's a bit of a strict gun control guy, he's a vested interest in power, after all, and he's got a Freedom Eagle security company.

After a moment of silence, Andy knew that there would be no conclusion on the issue of gun control on this‘ free 'land in the United States. Besides, it was just neutral or acceptable. If the other party's request was to support them, Andy would not even consider rejecting it, and he did not want to be scolded by the families of the victims as a major rebel.

“Yes, I can promise them, stay neutral, don't call, public opinion guides the gun. ”

“Oh, you sure didn't disappoint me, kid, maybe you should really think about it and step into politics. ”

“Jeez, Grandpa, let me go, you know, I'm in a lot of trouble, and I don't want my political opponents to use my privacy against me, and I'll get out of control and kill them.” Andy knows his own business, he's a PG piece of shit, and the political enemies won't have to leave those blacks behind.

“Ha ha, so you know how ridiculous you are yourself, so be it, I'll pass on what you mean to Pierre, and I think they'll soon show you sincerity. ”

“Don't - the contract can be signed first, as to help them advertise, or wait for the effects to dissipate. Not now, isn't it clearly telling the American people that we at NBC have taken their money!” Andy had to say shamelessly to a certain extent if he didn't come out blushing, but in the view of Old Smith, that's how things should be handled.

“Okay, I'll tell them, by the way, that Mexican swine flu problem you said, I've got eyes on it, and if there's anything out of control, I'll let your grandma and mom fly to Hawaii... ”
