奧巴馬宣佈槍支控制提議

U.S. President Barack Obama has unveiled his gun control agenda with a set of controversial proposals expected to start a political fight with pro-gun groups and their supporters.

Mr. Obama announced the proposals Wednesday at the White House, joined by relatives of some of the 26 victims of the December 14 school shooting in Connecticut. He has called that day the worst of his presidency, and has warned that congressional action on gun control will resonate with future generations.

The proposals include banning assault-style weapons, universal background checks for gun sales, and boosting mental health services. The president also signed 23 executive orders to help give law enforcement and mental health professionals more tools in combating gun violence.

But he faces stiff opposition from conservative lawmakers and the nation's largest gun lobby, the National Rifle Association.美國總統奧巴馬宣佈了有關槍支控制的日程安排，其中包括一系列有爭議的提議，預計這些提議將開始引發與擁槍派組織及其支持者的政治角力。

奧巴馬星期三在白宮宣佈了這些提議，去年12月14號康涅狄克州學校槍擊案26名遇害者當中一些遇害者的親屬也在場。奧巴馬說，發生槍擊案的那一天是他總統任期內最不幸的日子，並警告說，國會就槍支控制所採取的行動將影響到子孫後代。

這些提議包括禁止攻擊型武器、對購槍者進行普遍背景調查以及加強心理保健服務。奧巴馬還簽署了23項政令，以便爲執法機構和心理保健專業人員提供更多手段來遏制槍擊暴力。

但是奧巴馬面臨着保守派議員和全國步槍協會的強烈反對。全國步槍協會是美國最大的堅持民衆擁槍權利的遊說組織。
