Protesters suggest Trump to take action on gun control

Trump is visiting with shooting survivors in Dayton before heading to the site of another mass shooting in El Paso. Prior to the trip, Trump said there was "no political appetite" for an assault rifle ban in the US.

US President Donald Trump was met with protests when he arrived in the Midwestern city of Dayton on Wednesday afternoon — the first of two visits to the sites of mass shootings in Texas and Ohio that killed more than 30 people.

Protests are expected in both cities where Trump will be visiting. His visits to Dayton and El Paso in Texas have stirred controversy among opposition lawmakers, who have accused him of whipping up racial tensions that contributed to the attacks.
