On May 24, an 18-year-old gunman stormed an elementary school in Texas, killing 19 students and two teachers.
According to the organization that tracks armed attacks, Gun Violence Archives of America, there have been 255 shooting incidents in the United States this year.
The repeated mass shootings have sparked widespread outrage in the United States, where most residents support tougher gun laws, but opposition from many lawmakers and Republican voters has long been an obstacle to the passage of major changes.
