This time a mass shooting occurred over the weekend as "guncide" instances continue to rise. A shooter started shooting in the parking lot of the Allen Premium Outlets mall in texas, killing numerous people and injuring many others, including children. An on-scene police officer engaged in a police engagement and took the shooter out. At least 9 persons were moved by the police to trauma centres in texas, and 9 people have since been declared dead. Seven people have been hurt, and three of them are in serious condition.

Indians who spend heavily at the mall before travelling to india have been surprised by the incidence. Many indians shop at the mall to buy gifts for their loved ones back home because the US summer break will start soon. texas has seen a rise in anti-gun sentiment in the meanwhile. people are tweeting about how lax Texas' gun laws are and how there is nothing being done to stop it.

The issue of giving licences for firearms that encourage homicide and gun suicide is also up for debate. They also mention that four of the ten deadliest mass shootings in US history have occurred in Texas. According to official government statistics, texas residents own some of the most weapons per capita of any state.

Others have criticised lawmakers for reducing the amount of safety training that was necessary, allowing open carry of pistols, requiring weapons on college campuses, and passing permit-less carry during the past few years. President Biden just announced new initiatives to prevent gun violence and make communities safer, yet it appears that little has changed. This cycle of gun violence is nonetheless tragic, foreseeable, and ongoing.
