President Obama furthered his gun control message today when addressing the massacre in Orlando that killed 50 people, making it the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
'Although it's still early in the investigation we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate,' Obama said, making no reference to ISIS or Islamic terror in his brief remarks.
Obama called the shooting spree, at the gay nightclub Pulse during Pride month in the United States, a reminder of how easy it is for someone to get a hold of a weapon that could kill people in a 'school, or a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub.'
'And we have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be,' Obama said.
'And to actively do nothing is a decision as well,' the president added.

O GO WITH: The suspected Islamic extremist who slaughtered at least 50 people after taking party-goers hostage inside a gay club in Orlando was was 'angry after seeing two men kissing'. Law enforcement sources have identified the shooter, who was wielding an AR-15 assault rifle and a handgun, as US citizen Omar Mateen, 29, from Port St. Lucie in Florida. The gunman, who was born to Afghan parents, was carrying a suspicious device, possibly a suicide vest, when he opened fire on the dance floor inside Pulse in the early hours of this morning. At least 50 people were killed and 53 others were injured in the shooting in the deadliest mass shooting in US history. An FBI spokesman said the mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism, adding that they are looking into whether this was an act of domestic or international terror, and if the shooter was a lone wolf. The FBI believe the gunman, who was shot dead by officers, may have 'leanings to radical Islamic terrorism'.

Trump needs to pound him on this and if Hillary follows suit, her too.
Joy Reid - MSNBC, was carrying the same gun control water this morning, I hear.
Hillary will pick it up, after she grazes through a field of brunches, later today.
“burp!”
Come and get ‘em Kenyan boy!
Unbelievable.
When will the big retaliation against ISIS begin.
Probably not till sometime after 12 Noon, January 20, 2017.
IIRC, The ISIS headquarters building and the Satanic satsnic Sharia Court House are still standing in Raqqa. Why is anything in Raqqa still standing?
AMEN to what you said, along with all of his ilk...and take that Dyke Clinton with him!!!
I like Trump’s “Muslim control” better. It gets right to the heart of the problem.
If it looks like hlillary will lose the election zero may well EO some sort of gun control who knows how far he will go.
As soon as the FBI learned he wasn’t a tea party member or a Republican, they lost interest.
Obama is a traitor.
Yep
This is why the Nwo is bringing them in. So they will kill, and we will give up our guns. Its all a strategy of the murdering govt that we have.
