In all seriousness, I'm glad you're not a reporter.
Is that really all you took from that speech?
He said this was 4th mass shooting site he's had to visit during his presidency and he's tired of it.
He said we as a nation have to do better than accept that our women and children can be slaughtered and we're 'all right' with it.
He said no set of laws will ever eliminate the possibility of horrors like this happening.
Yeah. Like I said, he referenced, indirectly, gun control. I don't disagree but I thought his initial comments on Friday were much more personal. It sounded like he was using this event to highlight the need for change but the timing was wrong. Say that shit when you go back to Washington tomorrow. Not when you're giving a memorial talk.
