Obama uses Orlando attack to call for gun control

Published



President Obama on Sunday used the tragic mass shooting in Orlando Sunday to call for gun control measures.

“This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub,” Obama said during an appearance at the White House. “We have to decide if that’s the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing — that’s a decision, too.”
