在5月24日得克薩斯州校園槍擊案再次給全美敲響槍支安全的警鐘后，該州總檢察長肯·帕克斯頓反對通過立法來加強(qiáng)槍支管控，這位共和黨人聲稱“解決辦法”就是讓學(xué)校教職員工帶槍，以迅速應(yīng)對襲擊。這一提案在教師、研究人員和控槍活動家中引起強(qiáng)烈反對。

Immediately after Tuesday's school shooting in Texas, conservative politicians reacted with another push for arming school officials to protect students – a notion that has raised strong objections among teachers, researchers and gun control activists.
5月24日得克薩斯州發(fā)生校園槍擊事件后，美國保守黨政客立即作出反應(yīng)，再次推動學(xué)校教職員工配槍保護(hù)學(xué)生，這一提案在教師、研究人員和控槍活動家中引起強(qiáng)烈反對。

"We can arm and prepare and train teachers and other administrators to respond quickly, because the reality is we don't have the resources to have law enforcement at every school," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told Fox News on Tuesday.
得州總檢察長肯·帕克斯頓24日對?？怂剐侣劚硎荆骸拔覀兛梢晕溲b、培訓(xùn)教師和其他管理人員，讓他們有所準(zhǔn)備，迅速做出反應(yīng)，因為我們沒辦法在每一所學(xué)校安排執(zhí)法人員?！?/p>

Texas has already pioneered such training, the School Marshal Program, which allows teachers and administrators to carry handguns after an 80-hour training at academies overseen by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.
得州已經(jīng)率先開展了“校警計劃”培訓(xùn)，教師和行政人員在得克薩斯州執(zhí)法委員會監(jiān)管的學(xué)院接受80小時的培訓(xùn)后便可以配槍。

The program was enacted in 2013 and expanded under Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican. There are now 256 school marshals in Texas, up from 34 before a high school shooting in Santa Fe near Houston in 2018, the Commission said.
該計劃于2013年頒布，并在共和黨州長格雷格·阿伯特的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下擴(kuò)大。該委員會表示，得克薩斯州目前有256名校警，而在2018年休斯頓附近的圣達(dá)菲發(fā)生一起高中槍擊案之前，只有34名。

In Tuesday's shooting, an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in the small Texan town of Uvalde 80 miles (130 km) west of the city of San Antonio.
在5月24日的槍擊事件中，一名18歲的槍手在得克薩斯州小鎮(zhèn)烏瓦爾德的一所小學(xué)殺害了19名兒童和兩名教師。烏瓦爾德位于圣安東尼奧市以西130公里。

Requirements to become a marshal include being a school employee, passing a psychological exam and having a license to carry, according to the Commission.
據(jù)得克薩斯州執(zhí)法委員會稱，成為校警的條件包括屬于學(xué)校雇員、通過心理測試和持有持槍執(zhí)照。

'ILL-ADVISED' POLICY
“不明智”的政策

For gun control activists, the program is another step in the wrong direction in the United States, which is by far the most heavily armed society in the world and has a high gun death rate.
對控槍活動家來說，校警計劃是美國朝著錯誤方向邁出的又一步，美國是世界上武裝程度最高的社會，槍擊死亡率很高。

"The Attorney General's comments are yet another indication that the gun lobby lackeys 'leading' Texas will do literally anything to avoid addressing gun violence," said Shannon Watts, founder of gun control group Moms Demand Action.
控槍組織“母親要求行動”創(chuàng)始人香農(nóng)·瓦茨稱：“總檢察長的言論再次表明，槍支游說團(tuán)體的走狗‘頭目’得克薩斯州將盡一切努力避免解決槍支暴力問題?！?/p>

The Texas State Teachers Association has opposed the school marshal program, which was created in response to the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
得州教師協(xié)會反對校警計劃，該計劃是針對2012年康涅狄格州桑迪·胡克小學(xué)發(fā)生的大規(guī)模槍擊案指定的。

"Instead of adding more guns to schools they need to take more steps to keep guns out of schools," said spokesperson Clay Robison.
得州教師協(xié)會發(fā)言人克萊·羅賓遜稱：“他們需要采取更多措施，防止槍支進(jìn)入學(xué)校，而不是在學(xué)校增加槍支?！?/p>

Arming teachers is "ill-advised," said Denise Gottfredson, a criminologist at the University of Maryland, pointing to research that more availability of guns is likely to lead to more gun violence.
馬里蘭大學(xué)犯罪學(xué)家丹尼斯·戈特弗雷德森表示，武裝教師是“不明智的”，她指出，研究表明，提供更多槍支可能會導(dǎo)致更多的槍支暴力。

"These guns might be fired accidentally, the teachers who carry them might deliberately use them for unintended purposes, and, even more likely, the guns might end up in the hands of students," said Gottfredson.
戈特弗雷德森說：“這些槍可能會走火，配槍的老師可能會故意將其用于非預(yù)期目的，這些槍更有可能最終會落入學(xué)生手中?！?/p>
