口语节目地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/11921/item/709283/Authorities say the weapons used in the Newtown shooting were legally registered to Nancy Lanza, the mother of the gunman, Adam Lanza. She was the first of 27 victims of the shootings, including her son.
Newtown native Dan Snyder, a college student, says he was opposed to tighter gun regulation until Friday.
"I'm still not totally for 100% gun control. I just think it shouldn't be as easy. And I think good people, I can definitely see situations where if someone had a gun, it could benefit the situation."
The only Americans prohibited from possessing weapons are convicted criminals and those judged mentally incompetent. But even they have little problem obtaining a firearm. Gun-control advocates call for tighter enforcement of existing gun laws. Opponents call for tighter restriction on gun possession.
Meanwhile, mass shootings continue, a fact President Obama mentioned in his response to Friday's killings in Newtown. "And we're gonna have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."当局说，在纽镇袭击案中使用的武器是注册在南希·兰扎的名下，而她正是此次枪击案主犯——亚当·兰扎的母亲。她是枪击案的第一位遇害者，包括枪手亚当，总共有27人在此事件中丧生。

纽镇当地居民丹·斯奈德是一名大学生。他表示在周五的惨案发生之前，他一直都反对加强枪支监管。
他说：““我仍然不能完全赞同百分之百的枪支管制，我只是觉得获得枪支不应该像现在这样容易。而且我相信（持枪的人中）有好人存在，显然在一些情况下，如果有人手里有枪，会对情况的解决带来益处。”
在美国，只有罪犯和精神疾病患者不能依法携有枪支武器。但是尽管如此，这些人想要获得枪支也不是问题。枪支管制的支持者呼吁有关部门更加严格地执行现有的枪支法。而反对者则希望对枪支持有加强限制。
与此同时，总统奥巴马在对周五纽镇袭击案的回应中提到，大规模的枪击案在美国时有发生。他说：“不管是哪派人士，我们都必须要联合起来，采取有意义的行动，阻止类似的悲剧再次发生。”
