Gun Rights in the US

　　Immediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president and the state governor both hurried there to share the　　　　　(51). But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to　　　　　(52) weapons.

　　Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country　　　　　(53) gun violence has destroyed lives, families and communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the　　　　　(54) countries that seem unwilling and politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.

　　One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隱藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was　　　　　(64) American's responsibility to have a gun.

　　"Each person," he said, "should not rely solely　　　　　(65) the government for protection."
