"Iowa School Shooting Sparks Political Divide on Gun Control Amid Presidential Race"

The recent school shooting in Perry, Iowa, has brought the issue of gun control to the forefront of the Republican presidential caucuses. Candidates like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump have offered condolences but emphasized mental health and school security rather than gun law reform. The incident has prompted questions from voters and has become a topic of discussion at campaign events, with candidates largely sticking to their standard political rhetoric. Some voters express a desire to focus on other issues, while experts like former FBI agent Kate Schweit criticize the avoidance of discussing changes to gun laws as part of addressing mass shootings.
