In less than 13 hours, two mass shooters in Texas and Ohio left 23 dead and 53 injured. These are only two massacres of a total of 251 of this year so far in the US as the epidemic worsens.
This phenomenon of extreme violence began to gain force after the Sandy Hook shooting of 2012, when Adam Lanza entered a secondary school in Connecticut and killed 26 people before killing himself at the scene of the crime.
After Sandy Hook, debates arose over how to implement arms controls and how to seriously limit access to those will mental health issues, which was the case with Lanza. However, progressive congressmen and women have repeatedly failed in their fight against a conservative lobby in favour of the free use of guns that is even too powerful for the Republican party to take on.
