guns kill about 36mila people in the United States each year, warns the Ap, including suicides, homicides, shootings, and accidents that involve the police. In November 2017, an armed man shot a 26-faithful in a baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, outside San Antonio. Almost a year later, in October 2018, a man has killed 11 people in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. And a few hours before the drama of White Settlement, not far from New York there was the attack on the house of a rabbi that has resulted in five wounded.
