03 The gun debate.
총기 논쟁

It still hurts. The shootings in 1999 at columbine high school in Littleton, Colorado,
have left a painful dark mark on the whole country, like a bad bruise that is slow to
fade. It hurts to think of the two teenage gunmen and the 15 lives they took. It hurts
to think that anything like it could ever happen again.
To make sure that it doesn’t happen again, the nation is pausing on the first
anniversary of the columbine shootings to reflect on how to prevent such tragedies in
the future. The anniversary has sparked a national debate about how to reduce all types
of gun violence. The President, Congress, private groups and ordinary citizens have all
entered the debate. Do we need more gun laws, or do we need better enforcement of
the laws we already have? there is great disagreement on that question. But there is no
disputing this fact: 4,223 Americans age 19 and younger were killed or killed themselves
with a gun in 1997. That’s nearly a dozen kids a day. An additional 28, 186 adults were
killed. What can be done to avoid more such deaths?
Donna Dees-Thomases has some ideas. She is the mother of two and the leader of the
million mom march, to be held in Washington, D.C , on may 14, 2000. The mother’s
day marches hope to encourage Congress to pass new gun laws. Dees-Thomases wants
to see licenses reqireed for all gun owners, a national registry of handguns and gun
safety locks
그 것은 아직 고통을 주고 있다. 콜로라도 주 리들시 에 있는 콜럼빈 고등학교에서 1999년
도에 있었던 총격은 나라 전체에 있어 희미해지기까지 시간이 오래 걸리는 안 좋은 멍 같은
아픈 검은 흔적을 남겼다.
