The massacre of children that took place yesterday at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two teachers died at the hands of the 18-year-old Salvador Ramos – which took place 10 years after a similar one in the Sandy Hook elementary school where 27 died. 20 little ones and seven teachers – is part of a very sad trend that makes the United States a country where the number of premature deaths caused by firearms is even higher than that of deaths from road accidents.
