又是没有买过枪的人瞎评论。
美国大多数州枪支的政策其实相当严格(包括Arizona),当你买枪时需要填写背景调查报告,枪店把资料送到FBI,FBI 进行背景调查, approval以后你才可以买枪!许多人得不到批准。你保证得不到批准。
但是总会有疏忽的时候。

Jared Lee Loughner broke no laws when he walked into the Sportsman’s Warehouse in Tucson on Nov. 30 and walked out a few minutes later with a powerful, semi-automatic Glock 19 handgun, along with a couple of extra-long magazines each capable of holding more than 30 bullets.
Total cost, about $500. A cursory background check was required but, in Arizona, no permit is needed to carry it around, concealed and loaded.
At the hulking green and grey warehouse, a quick check – usually less than five minutes on the telephone, even less using the online database maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation – confirmed Mr. Loughner was neither a serious convict, deemed mentally defective nor committed to a psychiatric institution. Among those proud to have fought against any curbs on the rights of all Americans to “bear arms” was Gabrielle Giffords, who once boasted to constituents that she helped defeat the nation’s toughest handgun law that outlawed weapons such as the Glock in the nation’s capital.
Until he actually opened fire, shooting Ms. Giffords through the head, killing six and wounding 13 others, Mr. Loughner was what the National Rifle Association calls a “law-abiding citizen” who had done nothing illegal by carrying a concealed and loaded Glock with enough ammunition to kill dozens to a public place. Even the extra-long magazines once outlawed under the assault-gun ban have been legal since it expired in 2004.
The Tucson mass killing and the deliberate assassination attempt have re-ignited the gun-control debate in America. Arizona, like Vermont and Alaska, has the least-restrictive gun laws in the country. |
