In this episode of the Perspective Prog. based on ‘USA’s Gun Terror’. USA faced yet another horror on Tuesday after a lone 18-year-old gunman entered an Elementary School in Texas with two assault rifles and killed at least 19 children and two adults before he was killed by law enforcement. This was the second mass shooting in less than two weeks in USA. In fact there have been more mass shootings than days in 2022 so far. According to the nonprofit organization Gun Violence Archive there have been at least 212 mass shootings in 144 days till 24th May this year in USA. Through a series of tweets US President Joe Biden has called on his country to turn its collective pain into political action on the issue of gun violence. In April this year President Biden had unveiled a new rule to rein in so-called ghost guns and ban the manufacturing of the untraceable firearms. While proposals to overhaul gun laws face steep odds at the federal level, there are some areas of bipartisan agreement. But whether that’s enough to break congressional gridlock is yet to be seen.
