Almost a month has passed since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at a school in Newtown, Connecticut. The shooter was found to have many weapons.
After the killings, President Obama ordered Vice President Joe Biden to lead a task force on how to reduce gun violence. Mr. Biden and his group are likely to present their ideas to the president by next Tuesday.
The task force includes representatives of hunting organizations, support groups for victims of gun violence, filmmakers and other members of the media. It also includes law enforcement officials, religious leaders and medical experts.
Vice President Biden says their ideas might include more complete investigations of those seeking to buy guns. He says the proposals may include a ban on ammunition clips that carry many bullets. He is appealing for compromise.
The vice president met strong opposition this week in talks with a representative of the National Rifle Association, the NRA. The group opposes efforts to strengthen gun laws. It also is critical of steps it says would violate the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear, or possess, arms.距离发生在康涅狄格州纽敦镇的校园惨案已经过去将近一个月。在那次事件中，凶手持枪杀害了20名年幼儿童和6名成年人。该凶手被发现拥有大量武器。
惨案发生后，总统奥巴马命令副总统乔·拜登负责领导一个旨在减少枪支暴力的专职小组。拜登先生和他的团队有望在下周二将建议递交总统。
该小组成员包括来自狩猎组织、枪支暴力受害者支援团体、电影制片人和其他媒体的代表。此外，还包括执法人员、宗教领袖和医疗专家。
副总统拜登称，他们的建议可能包括更多对欲购买枪支的人员的全面细致的审查。该建议还可能包括禁止携带可填充多发子弹的弹药夹。他呼吁各方相互之间作出让步。
本周，副总统在与全国步枪协会代表的会谈中遭到了强烈反对。该协会反对加强枪支法的举措，并对该举措表示不满，认为其违反了美国宪法第二修正案。该修正案保障了美国公民携带、持有武器的权利。
