美国华盛顿一名男子在亚马逊购物网站上订购了一台平板电视,可收到的却是一支强火力半自动步枪。该男子看到此“货物”后立即报了警。他表示,起初警方也有些不知所措,因为他们原来没碰到过这样的事情。不过,警方在询问了他的信息之后表示要将枪支带走处理,因为他没有合法持枪的资格,而且他也不能通过普通物流将枪支退回。据悉,装有枪支的盒子上写的虽是这名男子的姓名和地址,不过里面附带的发票却显示这支枪的收货人为宾夕法尼亚州的一家枪支商店。华盛顿警方发言人表示,此事件正在调查中。美国近一个月内连发两起大规模枪击事件,引发各界热议枪支管控措施。
Police in Washington are investigating how a man ordered a color television set via Amazon and ended up with a high-powered semi-automatic assault rifle instead. Seth Horvitz, who lives in the north east district of the US capital, contacted police immediately after a parcel delivery service left the military-style Sig Sauer SIG716 at his apartment door.
"They were a little confused at first. They've never seen anything quite like it," he told Fox 5, a local television station.
"They just took my information and then said: 'We'll handle this weapon because it's illegal to keep here.' It's illegal to transport in a car, so it can't be returned."
While the box was addressed to Horvitz, who had ordered a flat-screen television from a third-party retailer via Amazon.com, an invoice inside the box suggested the gun was supposed to go to a Pennsylvania gun shop.
A spokesman for Washington's Metropolitan Police Department said that the case - which comes on the heels of two mass killings in the US in less than a month - remains under investigation.
On its website, the US subsidiary of Sig Sauer, a major European firearms manufacturer that supplies guns to many US police forces, says the SIG716 is "the rifle of choice when you require the power of a larger calibre carbine."
"We've seen in recent weeks the tremendous damage these guns can do," said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which campaigns for greater gun control in the United States.
"We have to be better than a nation where assault weapons are so prevalent and can so easily end up in dangerous hands," he said in a statement. "It's deeply disturbing."
