Serener streets

摘要

Gun sales are soaring around the country. In April the Department of Homeland Security warned law enforcement agencies to keep an eye out for right-wing extremists, as the economic downturn and the election of America's first black president could create a "fertile recruiting environment". In May an anti-abortion zealot murdered a prominent abortion doctor at his church in Kansas. The next month a white supremacist murdered a black guard at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, dc. In August yet another crazed gunman, frustrated by his lonely love life, opened fire in a Pittsburgh gym, killing three people.
