In the United States, gun control is one of the issues in the midterm elections.

Each year, approximately 40,000 people are killed by firearms.

And after each mass shooting, the debate on access to revolvers or rifles is revived in this country which has nearly 400 million weapons.

If President Biden succeeded in passing a law to fight against violence related to weapons, the shooting of the school of Uvalde, in Texas, pushes the Democrats to advance their pawns, in the face of a very divided public opinion.
