  Gun Rights in the US

  Immediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn the dead. The president and the state governor both hurried there to share the  1  . But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to  2  weapons.

  Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country  3  gun violence has destroyed lives, families and communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the  4  countries that seems unwilling and politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.

  In countries like Britain and Canada, the government adopted stricter  5   control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held   6  by the gun lobby and the electoral system.

  The powerful National Rifle Association, the major supporter of gun  7  in the US, is too strong for any party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun controls anyway.  8  the years. the Democrats have found that they can either campaign for gun control or win power, not  9  . they prefer power.

  According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm incidents accounted  10 nine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So, although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many dont want to give up their arms they  11  to protect themselves.

  One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed firearm, told the Guardian that it was  14  Americans responsibility to have a gun.

  "Each person," he said, "should not rely solely  15  the government for protection."
