The president of the United States, Donald Trump, asked the congressmen on Monday to pass legislation that requires strong background checks for the purchase of firearms after two mass shootings in Texas and Ohio over the weekend that ended with The life of 29 people.
Trump, who is scheduled to appear at the White House today, said the victims' deaths could not be "in vain" and asked Republicans and Democrats to take steps to demand more controls from gun buyers.
"We cannot allow those killed in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, to die in vain. We can never forget them, nor those who came before them," Trump wrote on Twitter.
"Republicans and Democrats must unite and link this legislation with immigration reform that is desperately needed. We must get something good, if not great, from these two tragic events!"
On Saturday, an armed man killed 20 people in a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, in what authorities said seemed to be a hate crime on racial grounds . Just 13 hours later, another armed man in downtown Dayton, Ohio, killed nine people. Dozens of people were injured in both attacks.
