※ 引述《pursuistmi (common people)》之铭言： 标题:Texas school district to let teachers carry guns 德州学区准许教师携带枪械 HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas school district will let teachers bring guns to class this fall, the district's superintendent said on Friday, in what experts said appeared to be a first in the United States. 路透社休士顿电 德州一个学区的总管周五表示，将自今年秋天起准许该学区的教师带枪上课。 专家表示，这似乎是全美首例。 The board of the small rural Harrold Independent School District unanimously approved the plan and parents have not objected, said the district's superintendent, David Thweatt. 哈洛德独立学区是一个位於乡村的小型学区。学区总管大卫‧司卫特表示， 该学区委员会无异议通过此计画，且家长们没有反对。 School experts backed Thweatt's claim that Harrold, a system of about 110 students 150 miles northwest of Fort Worth, may be the first to let teachers bring guns to the classroom. 学校专家也支持司卫特的主张，即是让此学区成为第一个让教师带枪进教室的学区。 此学区约有一百一十名学生，位於渥尔斯堡西北方一百五十英里处。 Thweatt said it is a matter of safety. 司卫特说，这是为了安全起见。 "We have a lock-down situation, we have cameras, but the question we had to answer is, 'What if somebody gets in? What are we going to do?" he said. "It's just common sense." 「我们有紧急锁门设备、也有摄影机，但必须回答的问题是，『如果有人闯进来， 怎麽办？我们该做什麽？』」他说。「这是常理。」 Teachers who wish to bring guns will have to be certified to carry a concealed handgun in Texas and get crisis training and permission from school officials, he said. 他表示，有意持枪的教师，必须在德州取得携带隐藏手枪的许可， 并接受危机处理训练、取得学校行政人员的许可。 Recent school shootings in the United States have prompted some calls for school officials to allow students and teachers to carry legally concealed weapons into classrooms. 美国近年的校园枪击案，促使一些人建议学校行政人员让师生携带合法的 隐藏性武器进入教室。（译注：所以也许不只是手枪，还包括某些刀械。） The U.S. Congress once barred guns at schools nationwide, but the U.S. Supreme Court struck the law down, although state and local communities could adopt their own laws. Texas bars guns at schools without the school's permission. 国会曾通过法令，全国所有校园一律禁枪；最高法院打了回票（译注：即是 判决违宪），但各个州和地方团体仍得自订相关法律。在德州，非经学校许可， 不得带枪到校。 (Reporting by Jim Forsyth in San Antonio; writing by Bruce Nichols in Houston, editing by Vicki Allen) c Thomson Reuters 2008 All rights reserved 新闻来源: (需有正确连结) -- 译後感： 我曾在相关新闻上看到一些细节： http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/08/15/gun.toting.teachers.ap/index.html? section=cnn_latest 1.哈洛德到最近的警察局要开半个小时的车， 而且附近有重要的高速公路，所以有一定的安全顾虑。 2.不少人觉得，正是因为国会通过了「全国校园一律禁枪」法令、 导致学校没有足够的自卫能力，校园枪击案才会频频发生。 这情形在国内是难以想像的，因为国内枪枝管制非常严格。 甚至我也觉得，为什麽不乾脆在那边派驻一个小队的员警？ 同时，如果第二点所述就是运用「恐怖平衡」， 那我国为何不以放宽合法持枪的范围因应黑枪泛滥造成的恐惧？ 大概也有文化的因素在内吧。 --
