Barack Obama & Vice Joe Biden drop flowers at a memorial to victims of the Orlando shooting

American President,Barack Obama and his Vice President Joe Biden visited Orlando Florida on June 16 to law flowers at a memorial to victims of the Orlando shooting.He also met with families of the victims of the nightclub shooting.

His words,

“Here in Orlando, in the men and women taken from us, those who loved them, we see some of the true character of this country—the best of humanity coming roaring back; the love and the compassion and the fierce resolve that will carry us through not just through this atrocity, but through whatever difficult times may
confront us.” —President Obama speaking after meeting with the families of the victims in Orlando

“Today, once again, as has been true too many times before, I held and hugged grieving family members and parents, and they asked, why does this keep happening? And they pleaded that we do more to stop the carnage. They don’t care about the politics. Neither do I. Neither does Joe. And neither should any parent out there who’s thinking about their kids being not in the wrong place, but in places where kids are supposed to be.

This debate needs to change. It’s outgrown the old political stalemates. The notion that the answer to this tragedy would be to make sure that more people in a nightclub are similarly armed to the killer defies common sense. Those who defend the easy accessibility of assault weapons should meet these families and explain why that makes sense. They should meet with the Newtown families—some of whom Joe saw yesterday—whose children would now be finishing fifth grade—on why it is that we think our liberty requires these repeated tragedies. That’s not the meaning of liberty.” —President Obama in Orlando #OrlandoUnited
