Amnesty International has warned travellers and visitors to the United States to exercise extreme caution due to the rampant gun violence in the country.

The warning comes in the wake of two mass-shootings in El Paso and Dayton. The organization said that gun violence has become so prevalent in the US and that amounts to a human rights crisis.
