Democratic Presidential Candidates Immediately Call for Stricter Gun Control After San Bernardino Shooting

By Leigh Munsil

The 2016 candidates took to social media Wednesday afternoon in the wake of reports of a mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, expressing shock and outrage over the latest mass-casualty gun crime to take place on U.S. soil.

And though details were scarce in the hours following initial reports of the shooting, all three Democratic hopefuls weighed in immediately on gun control.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley tweeted,”Horrifying news out of #SanBernardino. Enough is enough: it’s time to stand up to the @NRA and enact meaningful gun safety laws.”

And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also piled on the gun control issue, after retweeting news of the 20-victim incident by the New York Times, saying, “I refuse to accept this as normal,” she wrote. “We must take action to stop gun violence now.”
