NorthCarolina schools to be armed

美国一州多所学校将配备步枪

Six schools, including three elementaryschools, in Madison County, North Carolina, will be equipped with AR-15 rifles,ammunition and door-breaking tools for the new school year to increasesecurity, local police announced. The AR-15 rifle has repeatedly been used inmass shootings in the United States. A gunman used such a weapon to kill 19children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. MadisonCounty Sheriff Buddy Harwood said the new measure, made in collaboration withschools, comes in the wake of the Uvalde shooting. Harwood said he hated thenation is in a place where AR-15s need to be kept in schools, but that it wasnecessary to help keep children safe. A lawyer from the Giffords Law Center toPrevent Gun Violence said this response was "horrific". “Where thereare more guns, there is more gun violence,” she said.

美国北卡罗莱纳州麦迪逊县警方近日宣布，为加强校园安全，将在秋季新学年为包括3所小学在内的6所当地学校配备AR-15步枪、弹药以及破门工具。AR-15步枪屡次出现在美国大规模枪击惨案中。今年5月得州“罗布小学枪击案”中，嫌疑人就使用AR-15步枪，杀害了19名儿童和2名教师。麦迪逊县警长巴迪·哈伍德表示，在“罗布小学枪击案”发生后，警方与本县学区商议出台为学校配枪的安保政策。哈伍德说，他并不想美国陷入为学校配枪的境况，但这对孩子们的安全有利。警方将花费更短时间获取应对紧急情况的武器。麦迪逊县为学校配枪的举措引发争议。美国吉福兹防止枪械暴力法律中心顾问批评说这是遏制美国枪支暴力的错误方式。“枪支越多的地方，枪支暴力越多。”她表示。

美国前总统特朗普称，美国联邦调查局于当地时间8月8日对他位于佛罗里达州的海湖庄园进行了突袭搜查，并撬开了他的保险柜。特朗普的儿子埃里克·特朗普承认，这是对特朗普离任时从白宫带走大量机密文件并转移至海湖庄园的调查的一部分。特朗普称，“我在佛罗里达州棕榈滩的海湖庄园目前正被一大群FBI特工包围、突袭和占领”，并称其保险箱甚至也被打开。他表示，自己此前已配合相关政府机构的工作，因此此次突击搜查是不必要的，也是不妥当的。
