商店位于一家基督教家庭商店的折扣店(Family Christian Stores)旁。我们也不知道那天那家店的生意是不是比平时更好，因为未等有顾客决定掏钱购买，销售经理就怒气冲冲地把我们赶走了。

Events in the early hours of last Friday at the Century 16 cinema in nearby Aurora, where 12 people at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises were shot dead, may have convinced some anxious customers to invest in a gun.

上周五凌晨，附近的奥罗拉(Aurora)市世纪16(Century 16)影院在放映《蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士崛起》(Dark Knight Rises)时发生枪击事件，造成12人死亡。这起惨案或许会令一些顾客深感焦虑，并下决心买枪。

There is link between the Aurora shootings and the store in Thornton. One of three weapons used by the alleged perpetrator, 24-year-old James Holmes, was bought there.

位于桑顿的枪支店与奥罗拉枪击案有些关连。24岁的犯罪嫌疑人詹姆斯·霍姆斯(James Holmes)使用的三支枪之一，就是在这家店里买的。

The ease with which Mr Holmes allegedly assembled an arsenal of weaponry, including an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, from legal suppliers, over just two months has reopened a fractious national debate about America’s relationship with firearms. In Colorado, where guns and hunting are an important part of the state’s identity, there is little support for new gun control restrictions: mass killings such as the 1999 massacre in Columbine high school, only 20 miles from Aurora, are dismissed as an aberration, the work of lone lunatics who would find a way to kill whether or not they had access to guns.
