Bill Clinton, Obama Call for Prayers; Hillary Demands Gun Control

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama Monday spoke out about the deadly shooting in Las Vegas that left at least 50 people dead and hundreds more injured Sunday night, saying they are praying and thinking of the victims, without mentioning their often repeated calls for gun control.

Former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, however, posted a trio of tweets calling for lawmakers to stand up to the National Rifle Association and keep "this from happening again."

Obama said he is praying for the victims, while Clinton said such actions "should be unimaginable in America."

Michelle & I are praying for the victims in Las Vegas. Our thoughts are with their families & everyone enduring another senseless tragedy.

Thinking of the victims and responders in Las Vegas. This should be unimaginable in America.

Obama and Clinton, both of whom have made several calls for increased gun control measures, did not mention the issue in either of their tweets. However, Hillary Clinton spoke out about the issue in a trio of tweets.

Las Vegas, we are grieving with you—the victims, those who lost loved ones, the responders, & all affected by this cold-blooded massacre.

The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.

Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.

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.
