The United States must impose strict gun controls and severely limit who can buy or own a weapon. In this regard, American laws are far too lax and lenient.
Meanwhile, earlier, a US federal judge temporarily halted key provisions of a new New York law governing gun licencing.
Judge Glenn T Suddaby of the US District Court for the Northern District of New York added that the state has "further reduced a first-class constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defence" into a mere "request."
He further stated that several law provisions had no historical justification, a controversial requirement put forward by the high court last spring, reported CNN.
