US President Joe Biden asked Americans to stand up to the gun lobby and pressure members of Congress to pass sensible gun laws after the killing of at least 18 children and an adult in a Texas school shooting on Tuesday.

Authorities said an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at an elementary school in south Texas, about 130 km west of San Antonio before he apparently was killed by police officers.

The shooting hands Biden, already facing the lowest approval ratings of his presidency, another crisis on top of 40-year high inflation rates and the war in Ukraine. Biden and his fellow Democrats have failed to get enough votes in Congress for background checks for gun purchases or other proposed bills.

They allegedly use these incidents to pass certain laws in that country... Someone calls it false flag operations... America is a strange country in deed.

It's not a gun problem, it's part of their culture to have guns and the many you have the better. Since white foreigners came to America they have been brandishing and shooting each other for the least reasons.

It's definitely clear that America has a gun problem and most importantly a 'trigger happy' school environment/society.
