美国今年已发生至少17起家庭灭门案件（一人杀害四名以上家庭成员），创下近二十年新高。1这一数字远超去年的6起，后者曾是至少二十年来的最低点。1专家认为，美国高枪支拥有率和宽松的枪支管制制度是导致此类暴力事件激增的关键因素。1
在有施暴者持枪的情况下，家庭暴力受害者被杀害的可能性比无枪情况高5倍。1美国目前拥有超过2.2亿支枪，数量超过总人口。12023年美国女性故意杀人率为每千人2.6起，而英国仅为0.7起。1专家表示，减少致命手段的获取是预防此类犯罪最有效的措施。1
在政策层面，22个州已通过了红旗法（极端风险保护令），6个州禁止此类保护令，3个州正在考虑禁止。1一项研究发现，红旗法使枪支自杀率平均下降每10万人3.79起。1值得注意的是，美国步枪协会曾支持红旗法，但后来改变了立场。1
The United States has recorded at least 17 family homicides in which one person killed four or more family members this year, marking a sharp increase from just six cases last year and reaching the highest level in roughly two decades 1. Experts attribute this surge primarily to the nation's high rate of firearm ownership and lenient gun regulations, with research consistently demonstrating that access to weapons significantly amplifies the risk of fatal domestic violence 1.
The connection between guns and lethal domestic violence is stark: women in the United States are five times more likely to be killed by their intimate partners when those partners have access to firearms 1. This disparity extends internationally—the 2023 homicide rate for American women stood at 2.6 per 1,000 people, compared to 0.7 per 1,000 in the United Kingdom 1. The US gun arsenal totals more than 220 million weapons, exceeding the nation's population 1. Researchers and policy advocates stress that reducing access to lethal means represents the most effective strategy for preventing such tragedies 1.
Several states have implemented red flag laws, which allow authorities to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed dangerous, with 22 states adopting such measures 1. A study found that red flag laws reduce firearm suicide rates by an average of 3.79 deaths per 100,000 people 1. However, progress remains uneven: six states have prohibited these protective orders while three others are considering bans 1. Notably, the National Rifle Association initially supported red flag legislation before reversing its position 1.
