Solemn Obama calls for gun control; DOESN'T link Orlando nightclub terror attack to Islam [tr]
Daily Mail ^ | 6/13/16 | Schwab

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.

Trump is being handed the election on a silver platter thanks to Obama, Hillary and the Liberal Media ignoring the fact that we are at war with ISIS on our own turf.

The photos are, as always with the MAIL, superb. I am left wondering how those tactical police were able to so quickly show up with lavender gloves. Might they have been on hand specifically for an event such as this?

What a dumbass. If guns are so easy to get, why was there not another one brought to bear until the police got there?

Muslim apologists will have us believe that the killer was a lone wolf. Terrific. This means that every individual muslim is a potential mass murdering jihadi.

Mateen does not represent all of Islam, but he does represent all gun owners.
