A man who witnessed a mass shooting in Ohio, in which nine people were killed, says he'll 'never forget' the sound of gunshots and screaming. He also questioned the availability of guns ‘made for destruction’. For the latest on the US shootings:
Using a rifle, the gunman opened fire in an area packed with as many as 3,000 people during the busy back-to-school shopping season.Meanwhile, Betts was armed with a .223-caliber rifle with magazines capable of holding at least 100 rounds of ammunition.
Twin tragedies in 24 hours and America's haunting relationship with guns plays out in the grimly familiar fashion I have sadly come to expect covering the United States. At least nine people have been shot dead outside a bar in Ohio, just hours after 20 people were killed in a shooting at a Walmart in Texas

I instantly wonder if immigration has a part to play in the story. It now appears it did. The places change and so do the numbers, but for those who want to kill a lot of people, guns are often the weapon of choice.After the Las Vegas shooting in 2017, the worst in this country's history, there was bi-partisan support for background checks. That bill would prevent people who have been convicted of abusive behaviour from buying or owning firearms.
