After the
deadly mass-shooting at an elementary school in the town of Uvalde, the United
States remains divided over the “right to bear arms”. For some, it is a
fundamental right – for others, a fundamental evil.
The
mass-shooting at Robb Elementary School shook the small town of Uvalde, Texas.
It left twenty-one people dead, most of them children. As the first of the
victims are laid to rest, political divisions are once again emerging across
the US. On the one hand, there is a wave of solidarity with the victims'
families, coupled with calls for stricter and more effective gun safety laws.
On the other hand, there are the staunch defenders of an unrestricted right to
bear arms. They believe it is people, not weapons, that cause such tragedies,
and they use this argument to block any reform. Examples of these two
irreconcilable points of view can even be found in Uvalde itself, just days
after the tragic massacre. A report by Carolina Chimoy.
