【单选题】{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}}

When foreigners are sometimes asked what seems most strange aboutAmerican society, somewhere on the top of the list will be the fact that the average citizen is allowed to possess guns.
Although it is true that many people carry guns legally in the United States, it is also known that many who possess guns carry them illegally. Others, who don’t have guns, feel that guns can be acquired quite easily.A、recent survey indicated that many high school students, especially in the inner cities, can acquire a gun with little difficulty.
Although most people would never want to own a gun, others have taken up hunting as a sport and enjoy hunting wild game in season. Hunting for deer and duck in fall and winter is very much a part of theAmerican culture.
Also, some farmers in rural areas who raise cattle and sheep feel they need to protect their animals against wolves that attack their herds and flocks at night. To defend and support their rights to possess firearms the National RifleAssociation (NRA、was founded in 1871. The main importance of this organization has been its efforts to prevent strict gun control legislation. The NRA、has great political support in small towns and rural areas, especially in the West and the South, where hunting is especially popular. Those who favor the right to possess guns insist that theConstitution provides the right of people "to keep and bear arms." They believe that gun con- trol laws will not solve the problem of crime and violence inAmericA、
Recent events inAmerica, however, have shown that the question of gun possession is now out of control and strong voices have called for immediate action to be taken. In seemingly peaceful schools students have gone into classrooms and opened fire upon their classmates.America has been shocked by such incidents which seem to occur with greater frequency. The periodic deaths of innocent citizens and even foreign visitors from guns have forced legislators to pass laws to stop these senseless killings.
The day may not be far off whenAmerica will be transformed from a gun culture to one which controls their use and possession.
The National RifleAssociation was established to ______.A.help strengthen gun control laws
B.unite people who possess guns
C.defendAmericans’ right to possess guns
D.solve the problem of crime and violence
