US President Barack Obama
WASHINGTON, United States ( AFP)— US President Barack Obama on Thursday voiced his anger and sadness after the country’s latest deadly shooting, this time at an Oregon community college, and made another impassioned plea for gun control legislation.
“Somehow this has become routine,” Obama said at the White House in reaction to the shooting by a 20-year-old gunman at Umpqua Community College in rural Roseburg, which left up to 10 dead.
“We can actually do something about it, but we’re going to have to change our laws,” Obama said. “It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun.”
