Tragedy, sudden and terrible, has again struck an American school: fifteen lives were lost and a city and a nation left with scars that cannot be removed. Because guns and explosives were used to cause the mayhem (残害人体器官罪), the immediate outcry (疾呼) is for gun control laws.
Most likely the shotguns and even the one-hand guns used were legally purchased and registered, and probably the guns were the property of the fathers of the boys who used them. Shotguns are the most common guns used in the sport of hunting small game animals and birds.
The possibility of passing laws forbidding sportsmen from owning shotguns would be very slight. There would be intense opposition to such laws. On the other hand, laws forbidding handguns have a greater chance of enactment. But then the familiar saying would become fact, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."
Many crimes in America are committed by people using guns. Most of these people have a record of criminal offenses. By law these criminals are not allowed to purchase or own guns. Do they care? NO. They do not obey laws and find other ways to get guns.
The problem is a people problem, not just a gun problem. In America, we have become a nation that has largely rejected the traditional rules and ethics of Western society that have helped it become a society of progress and the rule of law.
Behind societies ruled by law — maybe in the shadows, but still there — was the ominous (预兆的) feeling that over us all was a higher law that man is ultimately answerable to. Man’s laws were therefore supposed to be an extension of this law.
Modern society has moved beyond this concept to a very self-centered concept of "I am my own law". There is no more black and white or absolute right or wrong. No higher law determines it; we decide individually. What seems right and feels right for me is therefore "right". Also, what is "right" in one situation may be "wrong" in another, and what is "wrong" for you may be "right" for me. This concept is called moral relativism. Depending upon circumstances and how we feel about an action, it becomes right or wrong for us. Since most of society does not teach that. [br] According to the author, gun control laws______.
选项
A、could not help to catch the outlaws
B、are the essentials to reduce murder rates
C、could prevent criminals from getting guns
D、could only control the people abiding laws
答案
D
解析
第四段的后四句提到,在法律上,这些罪犯是被禁止购买或持有枪支的。他们会在乎吗?不。他们不遵守法律,而是通过其他途径得到枪支。由此可知,枪支控制法对犯罪分子起不到作用,也就是说,这些法律只对那些遵纪守法的人起到管制作用,故答案为[D]。
