The attack on an Orlando nightclub that killed 50 is officially the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. It's reignited the gun control debate, specifically focusing on the weapon that was used — an AR-15.
奥兰多夜店造成50人死亡的袭击是美国历史上最致命的枪击事件。它重新引发对枪支管制的辩论，特别是案件中使用的武器AR-15。
AR-15 carbines are a modified version of the military M16 assault rifle. One key difference is that AR-15s are semi-automatic, meaning only one bullet is fired with every pull of the trigger.
AR-15步枪是军用M16突击步枪的改良版。一个关键的区别是AR- 15是半自动的，意味着每扣动扳机只发射一枚子弹。
Although more people are killed by handguns each year, assault weapons are more dangerous in a mass shooting situation because their magazines hold more bullets.
虽然每年更多的人死于手枪，但在大规模枪击情况下攻击性武器更危险，因为能装更多的子弹。
Similar semi-automatic weapons were used in mass shootings in San Bernardino, California, and Aurora, Colorado, and at Sandy Hook Elementary School. They're one of the most popular guns in America, but they haven't been legal for very long.
类似的半自动武器在圣贝纳迪诺、加利福尼亚、奥罗拉、科罗拉多州和桑迪胡克小学使用过。它们是美国最受欢迎的枪支之一，但合法化时间不长。
A 10-year assault weapons ban expired in 2004, and guns in that category have remained largely unregulated since then. In Florida, you aren't required to have a license for your guns or even register them. The main restriction is a three-day waiting period for handguns.
长达10年的攻击性武器禁令在2004到期，从那以后枪支很大程度上仍不受管制。在佛罗里达州，你的枪支不需要许可证，甚至不用去注册。主要的限制就是手枪三天的等待期。
