Clinton repeats call for gun control after mass shooting

Clinton also slammed Republicans for supporting a law that allows potential terrorists on the no-fly list to purchase guns. Two of the attackers were killed by police, and a third person has been detained by police.

Clinton also defended Muslim Americans during her forceful remarks, telling the audience at an event focused on women in business that “the vast majority of Muslim Americans are just as concerned and heart broken about this as anyone else”.

She said the nation needs to be vigilant and cooperative, “collecting and analyzing information”, and urged the government to “redouble our efforts to dismantle the global structure of terrorism”.

The Clinton backer added, “I will say that this cycle there has been a lot less of that than I have experienced on the Democratic side”.

At an event later Thursday, Clinton said the emerging picture surrounding the incident pointed to “terrorism”. “And what we need to do is bring people together to work on the agreement where there is broad consensus”. “I know that we can save lives and we shouldn’t be conflating the two”.

Sanders said Thursday that mass shootings had reached “epidemic levels” this year. “Yesterday, San Bernardino, a few days ago, Colorado Springs, before that Roseburg, Oregon, before that Chattanooga, Tennessee, and on and on it goes”, Sanders said in a statement.

Sanders said Congress should pass gun control measures largely sought by Democrats.

Clinton has personally headlined more than 150 fundraisers in 35 states and Washington, D.C., during the first eight months of her campaign.

“The sad reality is that in America today there are many thousands of people who are walking our streets who are suicidal or homicidal”.

“The problem is people all over this country, not you Secretary Clinton, are shouting at each other”, he said. Insulators President James McCourt, in a letter to Clinton seen by Reuters, praised her “recognition of the significant contributions of our members to energy efficiency”.

“The fact Hillary Clinton and President Obama continue to exploit this situation to push for more restrictions on Americans’ Second Amendment rights is as deplorable as it is risky”, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.

Clinton said during the presser that questioning whether one of her top gun issues – banning people on the “No Fly List” from purchasing weapons – would have prevented what happened in San Bernardino was “like the question: ‘How do you prove a negative?'”
