Mr Trump also called for people that"posed a grave risk to public safety" do not get access to firearms through"due process", but did not expand any further. The number of mass shootings this year is 251, according to a widely quoted definition that categorises a mass shooting as an incident where four people are shot .
The US Congress defines a mass shooting differently - as a single incident where three or more people are murdered.
