Europe has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world and they’re about to get even tighter.
As President Obama bypasses Congress to expand necessary background checks for some private gun sales, European leaders are reviewing new restrictions on firearms, and should give their approval next month. If that happens, the changes would come into effect in July.
The European Union has been debating tougher laws for years with little progress. But the terror attacks in Paris in January and November gave new urgency to the discussion. EU leaders said in December they would "rapidly examine" the proposals, with the aim of approving them in February.
Europe already bans all automatic weapons, plus some semi-automatic guns widely available in the United States. But European officials say gun laws passed in 2008 are inadequate, and leave Europe "vulnerable to criminal activity" and terrorist attacks.
Here’s what will change if the new law is adopted:
1.More categories of semi-automatic weapons will be subject to an absolute ban.
2. It will be impossible for deactivated weapons, currently treated as pieces of metal, to be traded freely across European borders.
3. Gun brokers and dealers will have to be licensed to deal in weapons.
Question 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5. What change took place in Europe recently?
6. What helped bring about the change?
7. What do we learn about gun law in Europe?
选项
A、The crime rates increased rapidly.
B、The terror attacks happened in Paris.
C、Europeans bought large amounts of guns from the US.
D、Automatic guns have replaced semi-automatic guns.
答案
B
