Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton weighed in on the deadliest mass shooting in US history, claiming Monday morning that there would have been more deaths if the shooter had a “silencer.”
“Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer,” Clinton tweeted on Monday, “which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”
The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.

Clinton also called to “put politics aside” and “stand up to the NRA” in the aftermath of the shooting.
Our grief isn’t enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.
