“The normalisation of mass murder” - The Democrats want to make gun reform a key issue of the 2020 US presidential vote.
In the wake of a deadly mass shooting in Virginia, some Democrats and advocates are renewing their push for gun control.
“It’s the ones that never make the headlines. It’s the kids who are shot at the playground, on the sidewalk, in their own homes. Gun violence touches families every day.” With gun violence continuing at a dizzying pace and an increasingly broad swathe of Americans supporting stricter gun laws, gun control is expected to become an important issue for voters in the 2020 presidential elections.
“Some of you may be aware, our gun laws in the United States don’t make much sense,” Obama said. “Anybody can buy any weapon, any time without much, if any, regulation. They buy it over the internet. They can buy machine guns.” “The progress is continuing at the state level,” said the CSGV's Andrew Patrick. He added that where you used to see no action on federal level, the House of Representatives is increasingly pushing for gun control.
