American Gun Pays Deluge
Recently, many people have been killed by gun-shot in America. In the past, national political leaders might have raised troubling questions about how an unstable character could obtain easy access to high-powered weapons. They might have been even more motivated given that Poplawski’s cop-killing case was part of a near epidemic of mass murders that have left 58 people dead over the past month. Or given that Mexico’s madly violent drug groups are arming them selves with high-powered assault (攻击) weapons purchased at US gun stores and later smuggled south of the border. Yet many past champions of stricter gun-control measures ars silent. These include about top Obama White House officials who have forbade any talk within the administration about pushing further gun-control measures.
Running for president in last year’s Democratic primaries, Barack Obama promised to restore a federal ban on certain semiautomatic (半自动的) assault guns—a position that’s still on the White House Web site. The ban was originally passed by the Democratic-controlled Congress in 1994 and abolished five years ago. In recent years the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (烟酒枪支爆炸物管理局) has also lifted virtually all restriction on imports of foreign-made assault weapons, permitting a flood of cheap Romanian, Bulgarian and other Eastern European AK-47s to enter the country, according to gun-control groups.
But Obama and to White House aides have all but abandoned the issue. Emanuel helped arrange passage of the original assault-weapons ban when he worked in the Clinton White House. Now he and other White House strategists have decided they can’t afford to debate with the National Rifle Association at a time when they’re pushing other priorities, like economic renewal and health-care reform, say congressional officials. A White House official, who asked not to identified discussing internal strategy, says," there isn’t support in Congress for such a ban at his time." A White House spokesman says, " the President supports the Second Amendment, respects the tradition of gun ownership in this country, and be believes we can take common-sense steps to keep our streets safe." Pointing to $ 2 billion in new funding for state and local law enforcement in the stimulus package. [br] Why did the White House strategists abandon the restoring of the ban?
选项
A、Because they didn’t think it useful to restore the ban.
B、Because they thought the economic renewal is more important than the ban.
C、Because none of them was familiar with the establishment of the ban.
D、Because Obama will deal with the issue personally.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的White House strategists abandon the restoring of the ban定位到第三段第三句可知,他们现在忙着做更重要的事情,例如经济复苏计划和卫生保健计划。故[B]与原文意思一致。[A]“他们觉得恢复禁令没有用处”,文章当中并未提到,故排除;[C]“没有人知道怎样制定禁令”与第三段第二句中提到的“一位官员曾经在克林顿政府工作过,并帮助起草了枪支禁令”矛盾,故排除;[D]“奥巴马总统会亲自处理这个问题”,文中根本没有涉及到这个问题,故排除。
