A four-year-old has been caught with a loaded gun at school in Texas

The scare was resolved when an off duty police officer working at the school took possession of the gun.

The weapon belongs to the child’s parents, and the father has since been arrested for making the firearm accessible.

It follows a similar incident in Arizona where a seven year old took a handgun to school.

It has sparked further concerns about school shootings in America, as children remain the biggest victims of firearm violence.

Is the issue of gun violence beyond repair, when a child is taking a handgun to school?

Former President Donald Trump has promised to slap unprecedented Tariffs on foreign allies, including the European Union, if he wins the 2024 presidential election.

Trump pledged to reduce the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% for companies that make their products in the U.S.

While he had already said he wanted to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%, he had not previously tied that lower rate to keeping manufacturing inside the country. #featured #trending
