We buried Donald Brown last May. He was murdered by four men who wanted to rob the supermarket manager he was protecting. Patrolman Brown was 61 years old. In just six months he and his wife had planned to retire to Florida. Now there will be no retirement in the sun, and she is alone.
Donald Brown was the second police officer to die in 1972 since I became Police Commissioner of Boston. The first was Detective John Schroeder, shot in a pawnshop (当铺) robbery in November 1970. John Schroeder was the brother of Walter Schroeder, who was killed in a bank robbery. Their names are together on the honor roll in Police Headquarters.
At least two of these police officers were shot by a handgun, the kind almost anyone can buy nearly everywhere for a few dollars. Ownership of handguns has become so widespread that this weapon is no longer merely the instrument of crime; it is now a cause of violent crime. Of the 11 Boston police officers killed since 1962, 17 were shot with handguns.
Gun advocates are fond of saying that guns don’t kill, people do. But guns do kill. Half of the people who commit suicide do so with handguns. Fifty-four percent of the murders committed in 1972 were committed with handguns.
No one can convince me, after returning from patrolman Brown’s funeral, that we should allow people to own handguns. I know that many Americans feel deeply and honestly that they have a right to own and enjoy guns. I am asking that they give them up. I am not asking for registration or licensing, or the outlawing of cheap guns. I am saying that no private citizen, whatever his claim, should possess a handgun. Only police officers should.
选项
A、handguns are a cause of violent crime
B、handguns are a dangerous weapon
C、American people’s right to own and enjoy guns should be respected
D、only police officers should possess guns
答案
D
解析
文章最后两句点题,“I am saying that no private citizen, whatever his claim, should possess a handgun. Only police officers should0”即D项,只有警务人员才能配枪。
