After another gun control law was rejected in the US, Hillary Clinton issued this simple but heartbreaking statement

After the violence in Orlando that left 50 people dead, you’d think US politicians would be scrambling to legislate stricter gun control.

The measures included updating the background check system for gun purchases and to delay gun sales (or, in the case of the Democrats bar them altogether) to those on a government terror watch list.

Enough.

The single word was followed by the names and ages of all the victims of the Orlando shooting.
