“It goes far beyond legislation”, says professor on the issue of guns in the US

A few days after a shooting at a supermarket in the United States, a man killed at least 20 people at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday (24). In the opinion of Professor of International Relations Carlos Gustavo Poggio, in an interview with CNNthe issue of weapons and attacks like these in the country goes beyond legislation.

“It seems to me that it goes far beyond any issue that can be resolved through legislation. This seems to me to be a point that we need to discuss, that is, what do we have to talk about about American society that goes beyond proposing a mere change in legislation?”, analyzed Poggio.

So far, authorities have not released information about the victims, but have confirmed that the attacker is dead and acted alone. He was identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos.

“It’s a name of Latin origin, in a society, in a North American county close to Latino majority Texas – about 80% of the people in this county are Latino majority – so therefore we need to identify what the causes are. who are behind this attack,” he said.

According to the expert, the significant number of weapons circulating in the country facilitates access to “individuals with problems or individuals who even have intentions of terrorist attacks”.
