爲你講解美帝槍支氾濫之禍

After the mass shooting at a gay club in Orlando, Florida, many people are wondering: Why haven't we done more to prevent this kind of horrific tragedy?
繼弗羅裏達奧蘭多同性俱樂部大規模槍擊事件後，許多人在想：爲防止這類可怖的悲劇事件，我們做的還不夠多嗎？

This is a question and routine many Americans are accustomed to by now.
這是很多美國人已經習以爲常要面對的一個日常問題。

Following a mass shooting, President Barack Obama yet again takes to the lectern to address the nation on yet another horrific act of gun violence in the US, typically making no effort to hide his anger and frustration.
大規模槍擊之後，奧巴馬又一次向全國就槍支暴力的恐怖行爲走上講壇發表演說，依舊毫不掩藏其憤怒與挫敗。

So why is it that for all the outrage and mourning with every mass shooting, nothing seems to change?
究竟是爲什麼，每次大規模射殺事件後的憤怒與哀痛過後，似乎又一切如常、無所改變?

To understand that, it's important to grasp not just the stunning statistics about gun ownership and gun violence in the United States, but America's very unique relationship with guns — unlike that of any other developed country.
要明白這一切，不僅僅要抓牢觸目驚心的美帝槍支控制和槍支暴力數據，更要懂得美國和槍支特別的關係，這和其它任何一個發達國家都有所不同。
