民主黨參議員努力詮釋槍支法能阻止恐怖分子

During a June 13 interview on CNN, Senator Chris Murphy(D-CT) struggled to explain how more gun laws can stop terrorists.

在六月十三日CNN欄目採訪中，參議院Chris Murphy (D-CT)努力詮釋，更多的槍支法能阻止恐怖分子。

Murphy attempted to justify more gun control aday after Omar Mateen allegedly shot and killed 50 andwounded 53 others at the Pulse Orlando nightclub.

Murphy試圖爲槍支管制做更多辯護，他拿“脈衝奧蘭多”夜總會槍殺案：槍手Omar Mateen被射殺，同時造成50人死亡，53人受傷這一事件做論證。

During the interview, Chris Cuomo referencedMurphy’s strong anti-gun stance and asked, “What law would have made thisdifferent? What could have stopped this man from getting the weapon that heused to murder all these people?”

在採訪中，Chris Cuomo站在Murphy強烈反槍支的立場上問道，“什麼樣的法律會起作用？是什麼阻止了這名搶手用武器射酒吧所有的人？”

Murphy responded:

Murphy回答道：

Cuomo then refocused and said, “What could youdo legally that would have made a difference here versus taking the steps thatyou can to address these lone wolf threats, to address the terror and deal withthat side of it–including mental health, maybe, when it’s relevant?”

Cuomo轉換重心繼續問道，“不採取可行的具體措施，要應對這些獨狼恐怖分子的威脅和恐怖活動，以及處理這方面的問題包括心理健康，也許心理健康有時候也與此相關，從法律上入手，又能做點什麼有用的呢？”

Murphy responded by saying:

Murphy這樣回答：

You are right. It would be a mistake for any ofus to try to suggest that this incident and what we know so far is just anissue about guns, or just an issue about terror, or just an issue about mentalillness. It appears from what we know that this was an absolutely terribleconcoction of all three.

你說得對。不論是誰，認爲我們目前所瞭解到的該事件只是關於槍支，或者恐怖活動，亦或精神病的問題，我想都是錯誤的。從我們所瞭解到的來看，該事件完全包含了以上三者。
