“Yesterday, an assailant in tactical gear armed with an AR-15 style assault weapon gunned down innocent people in a shopping mall, and not for the first time.

Such an attack is too shocking to be so familiar.

We need more action, faster to save lives.”

He also called upon the congressmen to send him the bill for a ban on assault weapons.  He tweets,

I will sign it immediately. We need nothing less to keep our streets safe.”

Texas Shooting Incident

The United States of America has been suffering from shooting incidents in schools and malls for a long time.

In a recent shooting incident, an assailant went shooting in a shopping mall, however, the identity of the shooter has not yet been declared.

A gunman opened fire at a crowded mall outside Dallas on Saturday, killing at least eight people and injuring at least seven before a police officer killed him, the authorities said, turning a busy afternoon of shopping into a chaotic and tragic scene.

Several victims were injured during the incident. As per Medical City Healthcare, many injured have been admitted into the healthcare.

The injured also includes a 5-year-old child. Two of the injured are still in critical condition.

Regulations for Holding Assault Weapons

The United States has the highest ratio of guns to person in the whole world. The ratio is as high as 2.5 guns per person.

The use and possession of guns in the United States is governed by numerous federal laws. These laws are enforced by the ATF and state agencies.  Each state, in addition, has its own rules and laws to regulate these laws.

The Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States gives rights to the citizen to hold and own arms and aims to provide provision for its citizen to own and hold arms that are not related to the military and police for self-defense.

A valid license for possession is, however, required for the same.

The rule, however,  prohibits persons from holding firearms convicted of crimes punishable by imprisonment,  drug addicts, mentally disturbed, immigrants, and convicted of domestic violence.

Assault rifles are banned in as many as 9 states in the country. Bills are presently being discussed in numerous states.

The citizens of the country are requesting the President of the United States to ban the Second Amendment and the possession of assault.

The POTUS called out the Congress to bring a bill for banning assault weapons.
