The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has promised this Wednesday Ban Assault Rifles Again as part of the 10th annual national vigil for victims of gun violence, also coinciding with the anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

The US president has stressed that they did it before in the 1990s: The use of semi-automatic weapons was prohibited between 1994 and 2004. “And guess what, it worked. The number of violent mass murders that went down was significant, many people’s lives were saved. We can do it again,” he said.

In this sense, Biden has assured that he can get “the most important gun law in 30 years” approved, however, he has admitted that this is not enough.

America’s largest school massacre

On December 14, 2012, a 20-year-old man shot and killed 20 children and six teachers with a semi-automatic assault rifle at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut. To this day, it is the largest school massacre in the country’s history.
