Guns and Poses: Weapon sales rocket up in US as election day nears

随着大选日临近，美国枪支销量飙升

WASHINGTON: Wal-Mart stores across America are removing guns and ammunitions from its sales floors amid rising concern that a deadlocked Election Day or a verdict one side may contest could lead to violent clashes and civil strife.

华盛顿：由于担心陷入僵局的选举或导致暴力冲突和内乱，美国各地的沃尔玛商店都将枪支和弹药撤下架。

Gun sales across America have rocketed this year following Covid-related shortages and shutdowns, racial unrest, and political tensions. An estimated that 5 million people are reported to have purchased firearms for the first time, according to industry estimated and national survey of retailers.

由于新冠疫情封锁、种族骚乱和政治紧张局势，今年美国的枪支销售直线上升。据行业估计和全国零售商调查，据报道，估计有500万人是首次购买枪支。

As it is, the United States has more guns than people, with the highest per capita gun ownership in the world -- an estimated 120.5 guns for every 100 residents, twice that of the next-highest nation, Yemen.

事实上，美国拥有的枪支比人口还多，其人均枪支拥有率是全球最高的——估计每100名居民拥有120.5支枪，是第二高的也门的两倍。

The prospect of civil strife in the aftermath of elections has been flagged by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, among others. "I'm worried that with our nation so divided, and election results potentially taking days or weeks to be finalized, there's a risk of civil unrest across the country,” Zuckerberg said on Thursday as he outlined steps the company as taking to tamp down provocative misinformation.

Facebook首席执行官马克·扎克伯格等人一直在关注选举后可能出现的内乱。扎克伯格周四表示:“我担心，由于我们的国家如此分裂，选举结果可能需要几天或几周才能最终确定，全国有发生内乱的风险。”他表示其公司将采取措施压制挑衅性错误信息。

President Trump has repeatedly signaled to rightwing militias, identified by agencies of his own administration as the primary threat and instigators of violence, to stand by for action in case election results go against him. A study released last week by Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) and MilitiaWatch released identified Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all battleground states, as being at high risk of increased militia activity leading up to and following the election.

特朗普总统曾多次向右翼民兵发出信号，让他们做好准备，以防选举结果对自己不利。特朗普政府的机构认为，右翼民兵是主要威胁和暴力煽动者。武装冲突地点和事件数据项目(ACLED)和MilitiaWatch上周发布的一项研究表明，宾夕法尼亚州、乔治亚州、密歇根州和威斯康辛州这些州在大选前后民兵活动增加的风险很高。

"There is an increasing narrative and trend that groups are organizing to ‘supplement’ the work of law enforcement or to place themselves in a narrowly defined ‘public protection’ role in parallel with police departments of a given locale," the report said. It identified nine groups including Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, Oath Keepers, Light Foot Militia, Civilian Defense Force, American Contingency, and Boogaloo Bois among the “most active” militias that could take action leading up to or after the election. Some of them have openly expressed support for Trump and he in turn has praised them.

报告称:“一些团体正在组织起来‘补充’执法工作，或把自己定位于一个狭义的‘保护公众’角色，与特定地区的警察部门并行。”报告指出，“Proud Boys”、“Patriot Prayer”、“Oath Keepers”、“Light Foot”、“Civil Defense Force”、“American Contingency”和“Boogaloo Bois”等9个组织是“最活跃的”民兵组织，它们可能在选举前后采取行动。他们中的一些人公开表达了对特朗普的支持，而特朗普也表扬了他们。

Trump/Republicans believe that US citizens should have the right to legally own a gun as promised in the second amendment of the US constitution. Also Trump/Republicans believe that climate change is a hoax while Biden/Democrats are trying to stop climate change.~

Biden wants to reduce America’s carbon emissions by switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. ~ Meanwhile ~

特朗普和共和党人认为美国公民有合法持枪的权利，这是美国宪法第二修正案所承诺的。特朗普和共和党人认为气候变化是一个骗局，而拜登和民*党人正试图阻止气候变化。拜登希望通过从化石燃料转向可再生能源，以减少美国的碳排放。

Trump said that Pakistan PM Imran Khan is a very “good friend” and he also said that he is willing to intervene in Kashmir if both Pakistan and India want his help to settle the dispute. Also Approxmately 75% of H1b visa holders are Indian. Recently Donald Trump issued an order to block h1b visas which caused many Indians to become jobless. And it also caused many Indian families to get separated.~

特朗普表示，巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰·汗是“好朋友”，他还表示，如果巴基斯坦和印度都希望他帮助解决争端，他愿意就克什米尔问题进行斡旋。另外，大约75%的H1b签证持有者是印度人。最近，唐纳德·特朗普发布了一项暂停h1b签证的命令，这导致许多印度人失业，还导致许多印度家庭分离。
