It's no secret the US has a serious problem with gun violence.
The latest mass shooting to hit the nation - an attack at a Las Vegas concert that left 58 dead and more than 500 injured - has shed light on the issue once again, but the White House says it's still too early to start talking about it.

However the statistics suggest the talking should start sooner rather than later, with 273 mass shootings - that's a shooting resulting in the death of four or more people - already this year.
When you consider there's only been 274 days so far in 2017, it's clear that's almost exactly one every single day.
Overall, there's been 46,598 incidents of gun violence in the US so far this year, resulting in more than 11,650 deaths.
The Las Vegas shooting is confirmed as the worst mass shooting in US history with 58 deaths, ahead of 2016's Orlando nightclub attack that saw 49 people lose their lives.
