Hillary Goes Gunning for the NRA

Hillary Clinton lashed out at the National Rifle Association Monday, saying in a tweet, “Our grief isn’t enough, we can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.”

In another tweet the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate suggested the bloodshed would have been worse if the NRA had its way. “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots,” she said. “Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”

Her anti-NRA statements came in sharp contrast to the comments of President Barack Obama. The former president made no mention of politics and said he and his wife Michelle were “praying for the victims in Las Vegas.”

Said Obama, "Michelle & I are praying for the victims in Las Vegas. Our thoughts are with their families & everyone enduring another senseless tragedy."
