福克斯新闻 论民主党对持枪者的嘲讽(3)

Oh, that's all.

就是这么回事。

But look, language matters and the term assault weapon itself is made up and meaningless.

但是，语言很重要，攻击性武器这个词本身是构成词，它毫无意义。

It's just meant to scare people into thinking they should be banned

这个词只是想吓唬人们，让人们认为攻击性武器应该被禁止，

and no matter what Democrats¹ say, it will be used to justify² an eventual³ confiscation⁴ of guns in America.

不管民主党人怎么说，这个词最终都将被用来为美国的没收枪支辩护。

Senator Feinstein's bill, which a super majority of senators voted against in a Democratic Senate,

Senator Feinstein's bill did not address those firearms that are currently in the possession of Americans.

参议员范斯坦的法案并没有涉及那些目前美国人拥有的枪支。

If you don't just want to make it illegal to sell those rifles, but you want to actively⁵ have government go after the people who currently possess firearms

and if they don't register and submit to all of the onerous⁶ restrictions⁷ of the National Firearms Act, presumably confiscate⁸ their weapons?

如果他们不登记，不服从《国家枪支法》中所有繁重的限制，那大概就会没收他们的武器吧？

I prefer a system where the AR-15 and other assault weapons are regulated under the National Firearms Act.

我更喜欢根据《联邦火器法》对AR-15和其他攻击性武器进行管制的系统。

Oh, does that comfort you?

哦，这让你感到安慰吗？

Well, Biden is pretended to be a moderate on gun rights, but he surrounded himself with radicals⁹ like that guy, who publicly ridicule¹⁰ gun owners.

好吧，拜登假装成枪支权利的温和派，但他周围的激进分子喜欢公开嘲笑枪支拥有者。

They might think that they're diehard ready to go, but unfortunately they're more like Tiger King.

他们可能认为他们已经做好了准备，但不幸的是，他们更像是在养虎为患。

And they're putting themselves and their families in danger.

他们把自己和家人置于危险之中。

Hide it behind the cans of tuna and beef turkey that you have stored in a cabinet and only bring that out if the zombies start to appear.
