**Obama Unveils Gun Control Proposals**(ZT)


美国总统奥巴马宣布了有关枪支控制的日程安排,其中包括一系列有争议的提议,预计这些提议将开始引发与拥枪派组织及其支持者的政治角力。

U.S. President Barack Obama has unveiled his gun control agenda with a set of controversial proposals expected to start a political fight with pro-gun groups and their supporters.


奥巴马星期三在白宫宣布了这些提议,去年12月14号康涅狄克州学校枪击案26名遇害者当中一些遇害者的亲属也在场。奥巴马说,发生枪击案的那一天是他总统任期内最不幸的日子,并警告说,国会就枪支控制所采取的行动将影响到子孙后代。

Mr. Obama announced the proposals Wednesday at the White House, joined by relatives of some of the 26 victims of the December 14 school shooting in Connecticut. He has called that day the worst of his presidency, and has warned that congressional action on gun control will resonate with future generations.

这些提议包括禁止攻击型武器、对购枪者进行普遍背景调查以及加强心理保健服务。奥巴马还签署了23项政令,以便为执法机构和心理保健专业人员提供更多手段来遏制枪击暴力。

The proposals include banning assault-style weapons, universal background checks for gun sales, and boosting mental health services. The president also signed 23 executive orders to help give law enforcement and mental health professionals more tools in combating gun violence.

但是奥巴马面临着保守派议员和全国步枪协会的强烈反对。全国步枪协会是美国最大的坚持民众拥枪权利的游说组织。

But he faces stiff opposition from conservative lawmakers and the nation's largest gun lobby, the National Rifle Association.
