布景常识

ccess to guns.
是啥和美国的大规划枪击作业有关？简略获得枪支。
the united states is a violent society, and has been since the first europeans stepped foot on its shores. millions of native americans — we will never know the true number — were killed as europeans colonized the continent. slavery lasted for more than 240 years, and it was practiced with a grotesque brutality. viewed in this way, our ongoing gun-violence death toll is just another facet of our violent history. but it’s one we could bring to an end, if only we chose to. our homicide rate dwarfs that of any other comparably advanced nation.
美国是一个暴力社会，自从第一个欧洲人踏上它的海岸以来就一向如此。数以百万计的美洲原居民——咱们永久不会晓得真实的数字——在殖民大陆时被杀戮。奴隶制持续了 240 多年，其严格程度令人发指。从这个视点来看，咱们当前的枪支暴力去世人数只是咱们暴力前史的另一个方面。可是只需咱们选择，咱们是可以结束这悉数的。咱们的杀人率与其他任何 国家比较都相形见绌。
in the united states, there are so many firearms in circulation that there is more than one per every american. no surprise, 4 out of every 10 of us say we are personally acquainted with someone who has been shot. nations with looser attitudes toward gun ownership experience more gun violence than those without. while mass shootings garner the most attention, our day-to-day death toll is staggering. even as mass-fatality events plunged in 2021, likely because of the covid-19 lockdowns, gun violence is up significantly in many cities.
在美国，流转中的枪支如此之多，致使于分摊到美国人头的枪支不止一支。毫不新鲜，咱们每10自个中就有4自个说自个知道一个被枪杀的人。对枪支一切权情绪较松的国家比没有（枪支一切权）的国家阅历更多的枪支暴力。尽管大规划枪击作业致使了最多的重视，但咱们每天的去世人数也令人震动。尽管可所以因为covid-19，即便大规划去世作业在2021年大幅降低，但在许多城市枪支暴力都有显着上升。
murder rates in big cities throughout the united states increased by more than one-third last year, with many cities seeing particularly startling increases: homicides in chicago increased by more than 50 percent, new york by 40 percent. the vast majority of this surge was murders committed with firearms.
上一年全美各大城市的谋杀率添加了三分之一以上，许多城市的增幅尤为惊人。芝加哥的凶杀案添加了50%以上，纽约添加了40%。在这一激增中大有些的谋杀都是运用枪支。
