BBC, 09 Jun 2022
The parents of Lexi Rubio, who was one of 19 schoolchildren killed in a mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, made an emotional plea to lawmakers in the US to take action on gun control.
The US House of Representatives voted through a series of measures regulating the sale of guns after hearing testimonies from those affected by the massacre.
However, the bill is expected to fail in the Senate – due to Republican opposition.
