反对枪支的游说团体在组织性上并不亚于支持枪支的游说组织,尽管前者没有后者的规模大。形成一个立法方案不需要太多的思考和研究。拜登“工作组的目标之一可能是制定政治策略,避免总统被指责利用一场悲剧来让其政治同盟的意愿获得通过。
The anti-gun lobby is as well organised as the pro-gun lobby, even if it is not quite so big. It will not need much thinking or study to produce a programme of legislation. A likely purpose of the Biden “task force will be to plot political strategy and to protect the president against accusations that he is exploiting a tragedy to pass the wish list of his political allies.
然而,一个特别的因素将有利于形成新的枪支法案:没有哪一次重大枪击案离下一次国会选举如此之久。现在投票的议员们有22个月到23个月的时间来让枪支拥有者淡忘他们的所为。他们通过的任何立法都可能是有限的、具党派倾向的、饱受诟病的。而另外一种可能就是不通过任何相关立法。
One unusual factor, though, is working in favour of fresh gun laws: never has there been a mass killing this far from the next congressional election. Representatives casting votes now will have 22 or 23 months to make gun owners forget. Any legislation they get through will probably be limited, partisan and resented. The alternative is no legislation at all.
