From NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Raum.The National Rifle Association is defending the ideathat the best response to the Newtown's school massacre is to place armed guards in all schools.Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre made that suggestion last week.This morning, he told NBC's Meet the Press the American people support this,in his words, they think it would be crazy not to do it.LaPierre also said the answer to school violence is not to reinstate a ban on assault weapons as proposed by Senator Feinstein.You could ban all, Dianne Feinstein, as she could do whatever she wants to with magazines.It's not going to make any kids safer.We've got to get to the real problem, the real causes and that's what the NRA is trying to do.He says the NRA will develop a plan to recruit volunteers to be armed guards in schools.The last of the 26 people who died at the Sandy Hook School shooting were laid to rest yesterday.NPR's Margot Adler reports the Connecticut governor has issued an order for flags to be returned to full staff.Flags were lowered to half-staff on December 14th in honor of the 20 children and six adults killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.All around Newtown and Sandy Hook, there are memorials to those who died.Stuffed animals, angels, flowers these can be seen in many different locations.According to the Newtown Bee, the local newspaper, Town Selectman Pat Llodra held a town-wide call on Saturday.She said the town Highway Department would begin the process of removing the temporary memorials next week after the Christmas holidays.
这里是华盛顿NPR新闻，我是诺拉・劳姆。美国步枪协会表示，应对纽敦市学校枪击案的最好方法是在所有的学校部署持枪警卫。上周，该协会执行副主席韦恩・拉皮埃尔提出此项建议。今天早上，拉皮埃尔参加NBC电视台的《与媒体见面》（Meet the Press）节目，并表示美国人支持这项建议，用他的话说就是，他们认为如果不这么做会很疯狂。参议员范斯坦提议重启攻击性武器禁令，而拉皮埃尔则说遏制校园暴力不用这么做。你可以禁止所有的东西，黛安娜・范斯坦，她可以对枪械库做任何她想做的事情。但这不会让孩子更安全。我们要真正解决问题，找到问题的真正原因，而这正是美国步枪协会努力在做的事情。拉皮埃尔说美国步枪协会将制定计划，招募志愿者来担任学校的持枪警卫。昨天，桑迪胡克小学枪击案的26名遇难者下葬。据NPR新闻的玛戈特・阿德勒报道，康涅狄格州州长已下令将国旗恢复正常。桑迪胡克小学惨案中有20名儿童和6名成人被枪杀，康涅狄格州于12月14日起降半旗向他们表示哀悼。纽敦市和桑迪胡克小学各处都有遇难者的悼念活动。许多地区都摆放着毛绒玩具、天使像以及鲜花。据纽敦市当地报纸《Newtown Bee》报道，市政委员帕特?劳德拉于周六在全市范围内举办电话会议。她说下周，即圣诞假期以后，纽敦市高速公路部门将开始清除这些临时摆放的纪念品。
