This week, families and friends buried victims of the second worst attack on a school in the United States. A gunman killed 20 young children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut last Friday. Police believe 20 year old Adam Lanza killed his mother at home then took some of her guns with him to the school. They say he used a military-style assault rifle to carry out the shooting spree. Such weapons can fire ammunition quickly, without the shooter having to reload.
本周,家人和朋友安葬了美国第二大校园袭击事件的受害者。上周五,一名枪手在康涅狄格州纽顿镇的一所小学杀害了20名年幼儿童和6名成年人。警方认为,20岁的亚当·兰扎(Adam Lanza)在家里杀害母亲后,携带她的部分枪支来到学校。警方表示,他使用一支军用突击步枪进行了这次疯狂枪杀。这种武器可以快速发射弹药而无需枪手重新装弹。
The attack shocked Americans whose opinions on gun laws have changed in the past week. A recent survey found that 52 percent of Americans questioned said they supported "major restrictions on guns or making them illegal."
这次袭击震惊了美国人,在过去一周他们对枪支法的观点已经改变。最近一项调查发现,52%受访的美国人表示他们支持“严格限制枪支或变枪支为非法。
President Obama says he recognizes the need for change. He has called on Congress to reestablish an assault weapons ban that ended in 2004.
