The aftermath of the horrifying mass shooting in Las Vegas has brought with it a number of calls for more gun control, and former president of Mexico Vicente Fox is among them:

Well, there it is. One more thing to add:
In the TN church shootings, a law-abiding "gun owner" took the shooter down then covered him until police came. https://t.co/shVfez1Uav
