Amid a clamour in the aftermath of the Texas and Ohio shootings earlier this month for increased background checks on firearm purchases, Mr Trump had said he was "looking to do background checks".

But he appeared to reverse that position after a phone call with the chief executive of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre, saying: "I'm also very, very concerned with the Second Amendment, more so than most presidents would be. People don't realise we have very strong background checks right now."

Good job electing this utterly stupid loving idiotic manchild, America.

A squad car was following this guy and he knew the game was up and started shooting. They probably had his name and life story from the plates before he suspected a thing.

Looser gun laws, more households with guns, and average american male having more experience hunting or in the military. All of those have gone down dramatically in the past 50 years. Yet mass shootings have gone up exponentially.
