In a democratic country, there was one thing that was very difficult to do.
That was reform.
If the government catered to the public's will and gave excessive benefits, it was easy to overdraft the national treasury and lead to the country's bankruptcy.
If adjustments and reforms were made, it would harm the interests of some people and interest groups, which would cause dissatisfaction and even fierce opposition.
Even no matter how the reform was carried out, there would always be opposition forces and voices. The only difference was that some were big and some were small.
In Merica, banning guns was probably the most difficult reform.
It was a "Hell Level" task.
It was impossible for ordinary people to do it. It was often left unsettled. Even if there were all kinds of shootings and tens of thousands of Mericans died at gunpoint every year.
Some politicians even went the opposite way and supported everyone to have a gun. It would be safe.
Lanfelord was determined to do the most difficult thing. He wanted to build a gun-free Merica.
His decision shocked the public.
The public opinion in Merica was very surprised. Then, most of them clapped and cheered.
"The most courageous decision."
"There are more gun shops in our country than supermarkets. The average person has more guns than mobile phones. The number of people who die at gunpoint every year is more than traffic accidents and acute heart disease. We live in a situation where everyone is in danger. We can hear gunshots almost every day."
"We must take measures to change our nature. The safest environment is when everyone has no gun. The most unsafe environment is when everyone has a gun."
"We have entered a modern civilized society. It is no longer the era of jungle hunting. There are no prey and beasts in the city. We are the same kind. We should not be wary of each other."
"Support! We can't go on like this. "
"I am willing to hand over the guns I bought, but the premise is that others hand them over too."
78%。
On the Internet, the proportion of people who supported the ban was 78%. The rest were not against it. They just wanted a limited ban. Guns could not be carried in public but could be held in private. There were quite a lot of people in Merica who liked to play with guns.
If the ban was not thorough enough, most people would not have guns. A small number of people still had guns. What if one or two demons appeared among the small number of people and suddenly started a massacre with guns?
Wouldn't those without guns have no power to protect themselves?
Therefore, for absolute security, the ban must be thorough to ensure that everyone was gun-free.
This was just the beginning of the reform.
Lanfelord encountered great resistance. Even if his public support rate was more than 80%, only 55% of the members in Congress supported him. It did not meet the requirement of two-thirds. Because it involved revising several articles in the constitution, more than two-thirds of the votes had to be obtained.
The ban on guns was not passed.
Therefore, Lanfelord spent half a year persuading countless members of parliament, but the support rate was still less than 60%.
The plan was about to be aborted.
Chen Jin had no choice but to send 30 simulation robots over to replace 30 important opposition representatives. The gun ban bill was finally passed.
Finally, he could go all out and fight.
After the actual operation began.
In just two months, more than 10,000 gun shops were closed, and more than 30 million private guns and countless ammunition were all confiscated … Not only was the operation swift, but the results were also quite gratifying.
Play for real.
Lanfelord was serious.
The opposition and special interest groups were all shocked. Then, they panicked and launched a series of actions.
At first, it was advice.
What followed was a cold warning.
Then there was the threat of bullets and family members.
In the end, unable to bear it any longer, he could only resort to the most extreme method of assassination to kill Lanfelord.
After all, the Merican gun market was similar to the mobile phone market. It was related to an output value of hundreds of billions or even trillions.
If this industry were to disappear, the number of unemployed would be in the hundreds of thousands, damaging the profits of countless arms suppliers.
Cutting off one's source of wealth was equivalent to killing one's parents. It was an irreconcilable hatred!
In addition, they already had countless guns and ammunition in their hands.
"We must not let Lanfelord live!"
"Get rid of this bastard."
"Other than selling guns and bullets, what else can we do? Is there any industry that is more profitable than this? "
"Lanfelord, I respect you very much, but you are blocking our way!"
Countless sounds of gnashing teeth could be heard in countless corners.
Then, in the next few months, the craziest assassinations came toward Lanfelord like a tidal wave.
10 times.
On average, it was more than 10 times a day.
And it was getting more and more exaggerated and crazy.
Someone took a multi-barreled Gatling gun and fired wildly at Lanfelord's convoy, turning many cars into sieves … The attacker was immediately killed.
Someone drove an old tank and rushed into the official residence where Lanfelord worked. He ran amok and blew up anyone he saw … Then, the tank was blown up by an anti-tank missile.
Attackers piloted helicopters or fighter jets and bombed the place where Lanfelord was working.
There was also an old ballistic missile that smashed toward Lanfelord's location.
The special interest groups launched a powerful financial offensive, bribing Lanfelord's most trusted assistant, bribing his relatives and friends, and even the vice president succumbed to the temptation of money. They took out their guns and fired at Lanfelord's vital parts.
In the end …
After hundreds and thousands of assassinations, Lanfelord was unscathed and was still alive and kicking.
The special interest groups almost collapsed.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
"How is he not dead?"
"Is he human? Is he Grim Reaper himself, or does he have an immortal body? "
The repeated failed assassinations made them collapse to the point of questioning life.
Netizens in other countries also found it unbelievable.
"On average, there are ten assassinations a day. Bribing your family, colleagues, and friends with money. Is there any possibility of survival?"
"Other than nuclear weapons and bombers, all the high-tech weapons that can be used have been used … Their power is astonishing."
"If it were me, I would have died dozens of times."
"The unkillable cockroach, the unkillable Lanfelord!"
"It's so creepy. They have money, guns, and people. Can ordinary people fight against such interest groups? I'm afraid that they will die the next day after proposing a bill and before it actually infringes on their interests? "
"I'm a little impressed. Such a bold reform, even our country can't do it, right?"
Chen Jin was shocked as well.
He was not shocked that the special interest groups used Gatling guns, tanks, airplanes, ballistic missiles, and other weapons for assassination.
Instead, it was because they saw that the general trend could not be defied. Seeing that the ban on guns could really be achieved, in desperation, the special interest groups sent hundreds of attackers carrying countless weapons and ammunition to create shooting incidents in various places. They madly slaughtered innocent people, causing at least tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.
This also angered all the people. Lanfelord's support rate soared from the lowest point of less than 40% to 80%.
In the anger of the people, the special interest groups were destroyed in a frenzy.
