在俄勒冈州一所校园枪击案造成三名儿童和一名教师死亡后，民主党人再次呼吁出台更严格的枪支法律，但持枪权倡导者表示，此次袭击的背景反而强化了他们反对新限制措施的立场。
据悉，这名十几岁的枪手使用其母亲购买的霰弹枪开火，随后一名有两个孩子在该校就读的父亲凯卢布·贾曼科追入银轨小学，并将其击毙。第二修正案支持者认为，额外的枪支限制本无法阻止这名杀手，反而可能让像贾曼科这样的武装平民更难介入。
“民主党人可耻地利用俄勒冈州的这场悲剧，推进他们在控枪问题上的政治议程，”美国枪支所有者协会联邦事务主任艾丹·约翰斯顿告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“但更多的枪支管制并非解决之道。这所学校是枪支禁区，而枪手并未使用所谓的‘突击武器’。真正阻止这名大规模谋杀者、挽救生命的，是一名枪法精准的武装旁观者。”

枪支权利研究人员、犯罪预防研究中心（CPRC）主席约翰·洛特单独指出，对携带枪支的限制会让潜在受害者陷入无助。
“这些枪支禁区实际上反而成了这类袭击的磁石，而非阻止袭击发生，”洛特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
洛特援引犯罪预防研究中心2014年至2024年的活跃枪击案研究称，合法武装平民制止的袭击次数超过了警察。
全国步枪协会同样质疑新的限制措施是否会改变此次袭击的结果。
“俄勒冈州已经几乎拥有反枪支团体愿望清单上的每一项控枪措施——包括获得支持这些措施的团体的A级评级——但这并未阻止此次袭击，”全国步枪协会在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。
“那位追入校园内制止枪手、终结威胁的武装旁观者最清楚地提醒我们，当分秒必争时，一位有准备的守法公民就能阻止杀手。”
参议院武装部队委员会 ranking member 罗恩·怀登（D-俄勒冈州）是呼吁在本德市银轨小学枪击案后采取行动的议员之一，本德-拉平学区政策禁止包括隐蔽持枪在内的枪支进入校园。
“纪念这些受害者的最佳方式，就是终于通过切实可行的枪支法律，减少更多儿童、家长、教师和工作人员被迫生活在类似校园噩梦恐惧中的风险，”怀登在一份声明中表示。

代表本德所在选区的俄勒冈州众议员贾内尔·拜纳姆（D-俄勒冈州）也呼吁采取行动，同时承认了武装旁观者的干预。
“我们何时才能展现出那位旁观者同样的勇敢？”拜纳姆在一场守夜活动中问道，此前她曾呼吁采取行动，阻止本不应拥有枪支的人获取枪支。
参议院武装部队委员会 ranking member 杰克·里德（D-罗德岛州）也援引此次枪击案，呼吁出台更多枪支法律，并敦促最高法院改变方向。
“罗伯茨法院早就该明确表明，他们有关枪支的裁决并不认可不受限制、无监管的武器获取途径，”里德说。
“在最高法院停止做出支持枪支的裁决之前，共和党人需要与民主党人一道，通过能够预防此类悲剧的切实可行的政策。”
罗伯茨法院曾做出具有重大影响的持枪权裁决，包括2008年推翻华盛顿特区手枪禁令的《哥伦比亚特区诉海勒案》，以及推翻纽约州要求申请人出示特殊需求才能获得公共场所携带手枪许可证的《纽约州步枪与手枪协会诉布鲁恩案》。

这场政治交锋之际，调查人员正在调查这名十几岁的枪手是如何获取其母亲的霰弹枪的，这是确定现有或拟议的枪支法律是否会产生影响的关键问题。
当被问及普遍背景调查和红旗法时，全国步枪协会辩称，这两项措施都不太可能阻止此次枪击案，理由是初步报告显示这名青少年获取的是家庭成员已有的枪支。
该组织指出，背景调查通常适用于枪支转让，而非未经授权获取他人已拥有的枪支。该组织还认为，红旗令可能效果甚微，尽管这名青少年获取霰弹枪的具体情况仍不明确。
洛特还指出，俄勒冈州2021年的一项法律修改允许各学区禁止隐蔽持枪许可证持有者将枪支带入校园，他认为此类限制会让学校更脆弱。
洛特表示，在这项修改之前，拥有隐蔽持枪许可证的俄勒冈州教师通常可以在校园携带枪支，尽管一些学区施加了与就业相关的限制。他估计，自那以后，该州197个学区中约有25个采用了禁令。

“所有发生过人员受伤或死亡的校园枪击案，都发生在禁止教师和工作人员携带枪支的地方，”洛特援引犯罪预防研究中心的研究称。
洛特表示，他的组织正在将研究更新至2025年。他还认为，身着制服的学校资源官员会面临战术劣势，因为袭击者可以识别他们、避开他们或首先将他们作为目标。
“穿制服的人就像头顶上有霓虹灯招牌写着‘先向我开枪’，”洛特说。
洛特还质疑，违反枪支禁区限制的处罚是否会威慑到已经面临多项终身监禁谋杀指控的人。
“他们可能面临六七项终身监禁[谋杀等罪名]。对他们来说，在第七或第八项终身监禁中减去五年刑期有意义吗？这对他们来说是惩罚吗？答案是否定的，”他说。
全国步枪协会还援引研究称，自1950年以来，94%的大规模枪击案发生在枪支禁区，呼应了洛特的论点。
“守法美国人有权保护自己和社区，而不是仅仅依赖标志或贴纸。本德市的悲剧清楚地表明，一位有准备且愿意采取行动的武装公民如何能够阻止袭击者、挽救生命。让负责任的人在学校附近解除武装的政策，会让这些地方更脆弱，而非更安全，”全国步枪协会的一位发言人表示。
洛特坚持认为，枪支禁区限制会让合法枪支拥有者处于不利地位，同时不会真正威慑到计划实施大规模枪击的人。

Democrats’ latest gun-control push runs into inconvenient fact about how school killer was stopped

Democrats renewed calls for tougher gun laws after three children and a teacher were killed in an Oregon school shooting, but gun-rights advocates say the circumstances of the attack bolster their case against new restrictions.
The teenage shooter reportedly opened fire with a shotgun purchased by his mother before an armed father-of-two-students, Kaylub Giamanco, pursued him into Silver Rail Elementary School and fatally shot him. Second Amendment advocates argue additional gun restrictions would not have stopped the killer and could make it harder for armed civilians like Giamanco to intervene.
“Democrats are shamefully weaponizing this tragedy in Oregon to advance their political agenda on gun control,” Aidan Johnston, director of federal affairs for Gun Owners of America, told Fox News Digital.
“But more gun control isn’t the solution. The school was a gun-free zone, and the killer didn’t use a so-called ‘assault weapon.’ What did stop the mass murderer and save lives was an armed bystander with good aim.”
FEDERAL APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS CONTROVERSIAL ILLINOIS BAN ON SEMIAUTOMATIC GUNS

Gun-rights researcher John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), separately argued that restrictions on carrying guns can leave potential victims defenseless.
“These gun-free zones actually serve as a magnet for these attacks rather than stopping them from occurring,” Lott told Fox News Digital.
Lott pointed to CPRC research examining active shootings from 2014 through 2024, which he said found that legally armed civilians stopped more attacks than police did.
The National Rifle Association similarly questioned whether new restrictions would have changed the outcome.
“Oregon already has nearly every gun-control measure on the anti-gun wish list — including an A- rating from groups that push them — yet that did not prevent this attack,” the NRA said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“The armed bystander who pursued the shooter inside and ended the threat is the clearest reminder that, when seconds count, a prepared law-abiding citizen can stop a killer.”
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., was among the lawmakers calling for action after the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, where Bend-LaPine school policy bans firearms, including concealed guns.
“The best way to honor these victims is to at long last pass commonsense gun laws that reduce the risks of more children, parents, teachers and staff forced to live in fear of similar nightmares for their schools,” Wyden said in a statement.

Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Ore., whose district includes Bend, also called for action while acknowledging the armed bystander’s intervention.
“When are we going to practice that same bravery that that bystander had?” Bynum asked during a vigil, after urging action to keep guns away from people who should not have them.
Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Jack Reed, D-R.I., also cited the shooting in calling for additional gun laws and urging the Supreme Court to change course.
“It is far past time for the Roberts Court to make it clear their decision on guns does not endorse unfettered and unregulated access to weapons,” Reed said.
“In the absence of the Supreme Court ceasing its pro-gun rulings, Republicans need to join Democrats in enacting commonsense policies that could prevent these kinds of tragedies.”
The Roberts court has issued consequential gun-rights rulings, including District of Columbia v. Heller, which struck down the District of Columbia’s handgun ban in 2008, and New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. v. Bruen, which struck down New York’s requirement that applicants show a special need to obtain a license to carry a handgun in public.

The political fighting is unfolding as investigators examine how the teenage gunman gained access to his mother’s shotgun, a key question in determining whether existing or proposed gun laws could have made a difference.
Asked specifically about universal background checks and red-flag laws, the NRA argued that neither would likely have prevented the shooting, citing initial reports that the teenager obtained a family member’s firearm.
The organization noted that background checks generally apply to firearm transfers, not unauthorized access to a firearm already owned by someone else. It also argued that a red-flag order would likely have been ineffective, although the circumstances surrounding the teenager’s access to the shotgun remain unclear.
Lott also pointed to a 2021 change in Oregon law that allowed individual school districts to prohibit concealed carry permit holders from bringing guns onto school property, arguing that such restrictions can leave schools more vulnerable.
Before that change, Lott said, Oregon teachers with concealed carry permits generally could carry guns at schools, although some districts imposed employment-related restrictions. He estimated that roughly 25 of the state’s 197 school districts have adopted prohibitions since then.

“All the school shootings where anybody has been wounded or killed have occurred in places where people, teachers and staff are banned from having guns,” Lott said, citing CPRC research.
Lott said his organization is updating the research through 2025. He also argued that uniformed school resource officers face tactical disadvantages because attackers can identify them, avoid them or target them first.
“Having somebody in uniform is like having a neon sign above them that says, shoot me first,” Lott said.
Lott also questioned whether penalties for violating gun-free zone restrictions would deter someone already facing multiple life sentences for murder.

“They may be facing six or seven life sentences [on murder counts and the like]. Does taking five years away from their seventh or eighth life [sentence] going to matter? Is that a penalty for them? And the answer is no,” he said.
The NRA also cited research finding that 94% of mass shootings since 1950 occurred in gun-free zones, echoing Lott’s argument.
“Law-abiding Americans have the right to defend themselves and their communities rather than rely solely on a sign or sticker. The tragedy in Bend is a clear example of how an armed citizen who is prepared and willing to act can stop an attacker and save lives. Policies that keep responsible people disarmed near schools leave those locations more vulnerable, not safer,” an NRA spokesperson said.
Lott maintained that gun-free zone restrictions can therefore disadvantage lawful gun owners without meaningfully deterring someone planning a mass shooting.
