The gunman was killed. Nbcs tracy potts has more. After each one h e talk about gun control. Has anything been done in congress to affect more gun control laws . No, not really. They tried and failed. They came close a couple of years ago. Thats really the source of frustration, especially for democrats who have been pushing this. You heard hillary clinton. Bernie sanders also came out and said we need to deal with comprehensive gun control legislation that takes into account dealing with images of guns in the media and the mentally ill and making sure that they dont have access to weapons. It just has not passed here on capitol hill. And the president has said congress has chosen not to act. Whats going to happen next . I mean obviously more talk, but then what . Well, and thats the question. That was the source of his frustration. You could see him yesterday. He was visably frustrated by not just the situation that happened but the lack of action here saying that people accused him of politicizing incidents like this. His argument was it needs to be politicized. This is a Political Choice that we make, to allow this to happen every few months in america. We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones. Because of our inaction. And he challenged law abiding gun owners to pick up the charge and lead this fight. All right.
