Hillary Clinton Calls for Assault Weapons Ban After Orlando Shooting (Video)

Hillary Clinton is calling for the reinstatement of the federal assault weapons ban following a shooting at an Orlando nightclub that left 49 people dead and 53 more injured.

“I think we’ve got to get back to common-sense safety reform. You can’t fall into the trap that was set up by the gun lobby that says if you can’t stop every shooting and every incident, you should not try to stop any,” Clinton told CNN on Monday. “We did have an assault weapons ban for 10 years, and I think it should be reinstated.”

Clinton also pointed out the lax gun laws in Florida, which allowed gunman Omar Saddiqui Mateen to legally purchase both a handgun and an assault rifle in the days leading up to the attack.
