美槍支法被批漏洞百出

US gun laws flawed?

Friday's horrific shooting that left 20 children and 6 adults dead in Connecticut, revived the familiar US gun law debate, where restrictions vary widely between states. The federal government regulates "very, very little," noted Robyn Thomas, executive director of the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, AFP reported.

美國(guó)康涅狄格州14日發(fā)生令人震驚的槍擊案，20名兒童和6名成人不幸喪生。據(jù)法新社報(bào)道，此案再次引發(fā)有關(guān)美國(guó)槍支法律的爭(zhēng)論，而美各州槍管法大相徑庭。美國(guó)防止槍支暴力組織法律中心執(zhí)行主任羅賓·托馬斯表示，聯(lián)邦政府對(duì)槍支"幾乎完全疏于監(jiān)管"。

[私人交易不受約束]

The Brady Law requires federal background checks on firearm purchasers in the US. It is intended to detect any potential red flags in an individual's criminal and mental health history. But 40% of arms sales are not affected by the law, because they take place between private individuals, including through websites, or at gun shows. Such sales are not regulated by the federal government.

布雷迪法案規(guī)定，在美國(guó)槍支購(gòu)買者須接受聯(lián)邦背景調(diào)查。該法旨在甄別出槍支購(gòu)買者有無(wú)犯罪前科或心理健康不良記錄。然而，40%的槍支交易不受此法約束，因?yàn)閭€(gè)人可以通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)、槍支展會(huì)等進(jìn)行槍支交易。上述交易并不受聯(lián)邦法律管轄。

[檢查系統(tǒng)漏洞巨大]

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, maintained by the FBI, has its own loopholes. The Mayors Against Illegal Guns Organization found that millions of files on people with mental health issues were not included in the database.

聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局的全國(guó)犯罪背景即時(shí)檢查系統(tǒng)也有漏洞。反對(duì)非法槍支市長(zhǎng)聯(lián)盟發(fā)現(xiàn)，數(shù)百萬(wàn)份的心理健康問(wèn)題檔案并未包括進(jìn)FBI的這一犯罪背景調(diào)查系統(tǒng)。

[各州立法難于監(jiān)管]

Most laws restricting gun sales take place at the state level. And within the 50 US states, variations in gun laws can make it easier for people to evade restrictions. Thirteen states do not consult background checks compiled outside the vendors' state. Any criminal history in another state or at the federal level would thus be left out.

美國(guó)大多數(shù)限制槍支購(gòu)買的法律是由各州出臺(tái)的，而50個(gè)州之間槍支法律上的差異也使得人們可以較容易地逃避法律監(jiān)管。在13個(gè)州，州外購(gòu)槍者無(wú)需接受背景調(diào)查，這意味著在外州的犯罪記錄或聯(lián)邦層面的犯罪記錄可以逃脫檢查。
