Even as we’ve battled the pandemic, we’ve
continued to neglect the longer-lasting epidemic of gun violence in
America. Although the shooter’s motive is not yet clear, the
identity of the victims underscores an alarming rise in anti-Asian
violence that must end.

新冠疫情使全球亚裔族群遭歧视、攻击比例大增，前日美国亚特兰大发生的一起枪击案，8名死者有6名亚裔人士，疑似仇亚行径引发各界谴责。美前总统奥巴马呼吁仇亚暴力必须终止，并再次强调适当管制枪支的重要性。
Yesterday’s shootings are another tragic
reminder that we have far more work to do to put in place
commonsense gun safety laws and root out the pervasive patterns of
hatred and violence in our society.

奥巴马在推特发布3篇推文，写道“即便正与新冠疫情奋战，我们仍忽视了美国枪支暴力这个长期流行病，虽然枪手的动机尚不明了，但受害者的身份彰显了一件事实，那就是对亚裔持续升高的暴力行径必须被终结。”
Michelle and I pray for the victims, their
families, everyone grieving these needless and devastating
killings—and we urge meaningful action that will save lives.

奥巴马的另一则推文说，“枪击事件提醒了我们，在枪支安全立法及根除社会仇恨、暴力的工作上，我们离取得共识还有一大段路要走。”奥巴马提到，他和夫人蜜雪儿为受害者及其家庭祈祷，强调所有人都对这起毫无必要的杀伤事件感到悲痛，敦促当局采取有效行动保障大众生命安全。
