Frequent mass shootings in recent weeks have left many Americans stunned at the country’s persistent failure to stop the gun violence epidemic.

On May 14, an 18-year-old gunman, driven by racial paranoia, went on a shooting rampage at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 shoppers, mostly African Americans. Just 10 days later, another 18-year-old, Salvador Ramos, opened fire in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 pupils and two adults.

These horrors bear at least one thing in common – a lethal weapon. The two young gunmen each carried a military-style assault rifle with high-capacity magazines, which enabled them to shoot and kill a large number of people before reloading.
