Because Americans have the right to bear (or have and use) arms (which include guns and other weapons), there are many guns owned by individual people for their own use in the United States.
因為美國人有權持有（或擁有和使用）武器（包括槍支和其他武器），在美國個人擁有和使用槍支的比例也非常的大。
Some of these guns just stay in the homes or are used to hunt (or kill animals, usually to eat the meat).
其中一些槍支只會放在家中或者用來打獵（或殺死動物，通常是食其肉）。
But other guns are used to hurt and kill people illegally.
但是另外一些槍支會被非法地用來傷人和殺人。
Some people believe that if we didn't have the right to bear arms, there wouldn't be as many lethal (or deadly) shootings.
于是有一些人認為，如果我們沒有持有武器的權利，那么也就不會有那么多致命的槍擊事件了。
When the Founding Fathers gave Americans the right to bear arms, people who fought in the militia (or the army) were not professional soldiers.
當年國父們給予美國人持有武器的權利，是因為那時在民兵組織（或軍隊）中作戰的人都不是職業軍人。
They were everyday people who helped to fight for their country and they had to bring their own guns.
他們是為自己國家而戰的普通人，他們必須帶上自己的槍支。
Many people think that the Founding Fathers gave Americans the right to bear arms so that our country could fight against its enemies (or the people and countries who are against our country).
許多人認為國父們給予美國人持有武器的權利，是為了讓我們國家能夠抵抗外敵（反對我們國家的人和國家）。
The Founding Fathers could not have imagined the situation today, where many people have guns and use them illegally.
而國父們想象不到如今的情形，也就是許多人持有并非法使用槍支。
The people who think this way would like to get rid of (or not have) the right to bear arms.
這么想的人都愿意放棄持械權。
But other people strongly think that Americans should continue to have the right to bear arms.
但是也有人強烈認為美國人應該繼續擁有持有武器的權利。
They think that having a gun is part of what it means to be an American.
他們認為擁有槍支是作為美國人的一部分。
Because people on both sides of the issue have such strong beliefs, the right to bear arms continues to be very controversial.
因為爭論雙方都有著非常強烈的看法，所以持有武器的權利依然備受爭議。
