The shooting marks the worst such attack in the U.S. since the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School attack in 2018, when a former student of the school in Parkland, Florida, opened fire, killing 17 people and wounding 17 others. A similar major shooting that led to <strong>outrage (Strike with disgust or revulsion) <\/strong>yet saw no permanent reform in guns laws occurred at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, in which 20 first graders and six school employees <strong>perished (Cease to live)<\/strong>. The Uvalde tragedy has also shaken the nation for it comes <strong>scarcely (Only a very short time before) <\/strong>10 days after a shooting at a supermarket store in Buffalo, New York, which officials described as a racist hate crime, claiming 10 lives. Overall, there have been at least 26 school shootings in 2022 alone and at least 118 incidents since 2018, according to reports that have tracked this statistic over the past four years. Last year witnessed 34 school shootings, the highest number during this period; there were 24 incidents each in 2019 and 2018 and 10 in 2020. Addressing the nation after the Uvalde attack, U.S. President Joe Biden made an urgent <strong>plea (A humble request for help from someone in authority) <\/strong>for common-sense gun control reform, saying, \u201cWhen in God\u2019s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?&#8230; I am sick and tired of it. We have to act&#8230; these kinds of mass shootings rarely happen elsewhere in the world\u2026 It\u2019s time to turn this pain into action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, it would be unrealistic to hope for meaningful change in the U.S.\u2019s view on the Second Amendment, which assures citizens of the right to <strong>bear (Have rightfully) <\/strong>arms. Several Presidents, mostly Democrats, have tried and failed to get even basic gun control laws passed through Congress. Former President Barack Obama, for example, came away frustrated after Capitol Hill rejected no fewer than 17 attempts by his White House to bring common-sense gun control to the floor of Congress. While conservative lawmakers seek to score political points by fiercely defending the constitutional right to bear arms, it is common knowledge now that at the heart of the U.S. Congress\u2019s refusal to <strong>stamp out (End or extinguish by forceful means)<\/strong> gun violence in schools and other public spaces is <strong>shadowy (Lacking clarity or distinctness) lobbying (Attempt to influence (a public official or decision-maker) in favour of a specific opinion or cause) <\/strong>on Capitol Hill by the deep-pocketed and well-networked National Rifle Association and, along with them, the entire gun manufacturing industry. If Mr. Biden genuinely wishes to <strong>clamp down (Repress or suppress (something regarded as undesirable))<\/strong> on this violence, which has <strong>ripped into (Criticize or abuse strongly and violently)<\/strong> America\u2019s soul for several generations now, he may have no choice but to follow in Mr. Obama\u2019s steps and use his presidential power of executive actions to enforce gun control measures. These should, at a minimum, include an assault weapons ban, expanded background checks for gun ownership and boosted funding for federal enforcement agencies regulating gun <strong>proliferation (A rapid increase in number (especially a rapid increase in the number of deadly weapons))<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
