   Condemns 'barbaric' crimes and suggests 'sinister ideologies' inspired Texas   
   gunman   
      
      
   U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday condemned weekend shootings in Texas and   
   Ohio as "barbaric" attacks and crimes "against all humanity" as he called for   
   bipartisan co-operation to strengthen the nation's gun laws.   
      
   Trump said he wants legislation providing "strong background checks" for gun   
   users, but he provided scant details and has reneged on previous promises   
   after mass shootings.   
      
   "We vow to act with urgent resolve," Trump said Monday.   
      
   "Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun," he said.   
      
   Congress has proven unable to pass substantial gun violence legislation this   
   session, despite the frequency of mass shootings, in large part because of   
   resistance from Republicans, particularly in the GOP-controlled Senate. That   
   political dynamic seems    
   difficult to change.   
      
   And Trump himself has reneged on previous pledges to strengthen gun laws.

   Trump 'not welcome' in El Paso   
      
   As Trump weighs trips to the affected communities — the Federal Aviation   
   Administration advised pilots of a presidential visit Wednesday to El Paso and   
   Dayton, Ohio — local lawmakers signalled opposition to his presence.   
      
   Rep. Veronica Escobar, a Democrat who represents El Paso, said Trump is "not   
   welcome" to visit the city.
