US President Lyndon Johnson urges Congress
to adopt gun control legislation in the wake
of Charles Whitman’s sniper attack from the
University of Texas’s Texas Tower; in all,
Whitman shot and killed 15 people before
being shot dead himself by an Austin police
officer.
And still today in 2015 they insist on the right to bear arms because it's part of their constitution!
