The attack on an Orlando nightclub that killed 50 is officially the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. It's reignited the gun control debate, specifically focusing on the weapon that was used — an AR-15.
奧蘭多夜店造成50人死亡的襲擊是美國歷史上最致命的槍擊事件。它重新引發對槍支管制的辯論，特別是案件中使用的武器AR-15。
AR-15 carbines are a modified version of the military M16 assault rifle. One key difference is that AR-15s are semi-automatic, meaning only one bullet is fired with every pull of the trigger.
AR-15步槍是軍用M16突擊步槍的改良版。一個關鍵的區別是AR- 15是半自動的，意味著每扣動扳機只發射一枚子彈。
Although more people are killed by handguns each year, assault weapons are more dangerous in a mass shooting situation because their magazines hold more bullets.
雖然每年更多的人死于手槍，但在大規模槍擊情況下攻擊性武器更危險，因為能裝更多的子彈。
Similar semi-automatic weapons were used in mass shootings in San Bernardino, California, and Aurora, Colorado, and at Sandy Hook Elementary School. They're one of the most popular guns in America, but they haven't been legal for very long.
類似的半自動武器在圣貝納迪諾、加利福尼亞、奧羅拉、科羅拉多州和桑迪胡克小學使用過。它們是美國最受歡迎的槍支之一，但合法化時間不長。
A 10-year assault weapons ban expired in 2004, and guns in that category have remained largely unregulated since then. In Florida, you aren't required to have a license for your guns or even register them. The main restriction is a three-day waiting period for handguns.
長達10年的攻擊性武器禁令在2004到期，從那以后槍支很大程度上仍不受管制。在佛羅里達州，你的槍支不需要許可證，甚至不用去注冊。主要的限制就是手槍三天的等待期。
