In this sense, Hurricane Sandy was like gun violence. Throughout the campaign season – and despite several highly publicized mass shootings in this period – neither President Barack Obama nor his challenger, Mitt Romney, wished to discuss the problem of laws in many states that allow almost anyone to carry lethal weapons and spray death around at random.
从这个角度看，飓风桑迪就像是枪支暴力。在整个竞选季中——尽管在此期间发生了数起受到高度关注的群体枪击事件——不管是总统奥巴马还是其挑战者罗姆尼都不愿意讨论许多州都存在的法律问题，即允许任何人携带致命武器，随时随地制造死亡案件。
