‘When will this end?’: rage over US gun violence after second mass shooting in 10 days

Lawmakers and gun control groups lead calls to stop the carnage: it is our choice to let it continue'

The second US mass shooting in 10 days, which left 18 young children and three adults dead at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday, led to an outpouring of disbelief and potent rage at America's persistent failure to tackle its epidemic of gun violence.

Tuesday's horrifying attack in Uvalde, a small, largely Hispanic community outside San Antonio, came just 10 days after the events in Buffalo, New York. There 10 grocery shoppers, most of them African American, were gunned down in a supermarket.
