4 Min ReadBy Steve Holland and Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As the United States grappled with yet another mass shooting event on Sunday, President Donald Trump said that background checks on gun purchasers would not have prevented recent gun violence in the country. Trump said at the White House that “for the most part, as strong as you make your background checks, they would not have stopped any of it.” Last month, a gunman killed 22 people and wounded another 24 in El Paso, Texas, while another assailant killed nine and injured 27 in Dayton, Ohio.
