Is America’s gun fixation backfiring on its pushers?
Al JazeeraThe assassination attempt on Donald Trump may not have happened, had there been actual gun control in the country. He went on to declare that he would reverse the damage allegedly done by President Joe Biden to America’s gun landscape: “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day”. The US continues to average more than one mass shooting per day – with “mass shooting” indicating an incident in which four or more people are injured or killed from gunfire, not including the shooter. Despite Biden’s threats to withhold delivery to the Israeli military of certain offensive weapons, a Reuters exclusive published on June 28 revealed that the US had thus far “transferred at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs, 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire precision-guided air-to-ground missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 air-dropped small-diameter bombs, and other munitions”. Following Trump’s own brush with death, one wonders whether he’ll think back on his advice to Iowa residents devastated by a January school shooting: “Get over it”.
