President Barack Obama has called for tougher gun laws in the wake of the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, today.
President Obama has called for tougher gun laws in the wake of the college shooting in Oregon today, declaring ‘our thoughts and prayers are not enough’ to stop the violence.
Obama, visibly upset and angry at having to speak in such circumstances every few weeks or months, condemned the incident that he says has become ‘routine’ in the United States.
He said the U.S. is becoming ‘numb’ to mass shootings, adding their perpetrators have a ‘sickness’ in their minds.
Obama said thoughts and prayers are no longer enough in these situations because they do nothing to stop similar acts from happening in the next week or a few months later.
