US President Joe Biden has vowed to “keep pushing” for tighter gun control, a demand that is becoming increasingly urgent in a country still traumatized by last week’s Yuvaldi massacre.

Biden, who visited the Texas city and spent several hours with the families of the victims, said “the pain is still palpable.” added.

And last Tuesday, 19 children aged 9 to 11 and two Robb elementary school teachers were gunned down by a teenager, throwing the United States back into the school shooting nightmare.

Negotiations have taken place between Democrats and Republicans in an attempt to reach a settlement of this complex issue, which Joe Biden has so far failed to resolve in law.

The Democratic President made it clear that he was not participating in these discussions, but said: “I think things have become so dangerous that everyone is more reasonable about it.”
