美樂壇兩百藝人籤聯名信 呼籲國會實施槍支管控

Nearly 200 entertainers and influential executives from the music industry signed a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to take action on gun control legislation in the wake of two Orlando shooting tragedies.

奧蘭多接連發生兩起槍殺悲劇，音樂界近兩百名藝人和有影響力的管理者向國會遞交了一封聯名信，要求立法者馬上採取行動，立法管制槍支。

The letter, released Thursday by Billboard magazine, features signatures from Katy Perry, Paul McCartney, Lin-Manuel Miranda, DJ Khaled, Cher, Kesha and others. It comes after a mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub that left 49 dead and 53 others wounded and the unrelated murder of singer Christina Grimmie after a concert in Orlando.

《公告牌》雜誌週四曝光了這封信的內容，上面包括凱蒂•佩裏、保羅•麥卡特尼、林-馬努埃爾•米蘭達、DJ哈里德、雪兒、凱莎等人的簽名。這封聯名信的起因源於奧蘭多的兩起槍殺案，一次是在同性戀夜店的大規模槍殺，導致49人死亡，53人受傷，另一次是歌手克里斯蒂娜•圭密在演唱會結束後被槍擊身亡。

“Music always has been celebrated communally, on dancefloors and at concert halls. But this life-affirming ritual, like so many other daily experiences—going to school or church or work—now is threatened, because of gun violence in this country,” the letter reads. “The one thing that connects the recent tragedies in Orlando is that it is far too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on guns.”

“音樂一直都是在公衆場合演奏的，無論是在舞池中還是在音樂廳裏。但是現在，這樣積極向上的儀式，像很多其它日常生活（去上學、去教堂、去上班）一樣面臨着威脅，就是因爲這個國家存在槍支暴力，”這封信寫道。“引發奧蘭多最近的悲劇的一個原因，就是危險人物太容易得到槍支了。”
