Even though Omar Mateen, the alleged gunman in the shooting at an Orlando nightclub, called 911 and pledged allegiance to ISIS prior to the shooting, liberals on Twitter blamed the NRA for the shooting.
Killer in #Orlando shooting was a "known quantity" to FBI. Yet had no trouble buying guns. I blame Wahhabism & NRAhttps://t.co/XQC2erUXWC

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Of course, former CNN talking head Piers Morgan — who knows better even though he hates the NRA and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms — weighed in:
Inspired by ISIS.

Here’s a tweet that shows just how ignorant anti-gun leftists are on the issue:
How many deaths will it take for the #nra to create more restrictions on automatic weapons.. #Orlando pic.twitter.com/baK04HN46Z

Hello? The NRA is not a legislative body, so it can’t create restrictions on gun laws.
Facts, I know. They’re so inconvenient to the left.
Naturally, anti-gun ghouls are using the Orlando shooting to demand even more gun control.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES. HOLD THE @NRA ACCOUNTABLE. (The same @NRA who hasn't said a word about the massacre in Orlando.) #BanAutomaticWeapons

Isis will be delighted Mateen had guns, but NRA & conservative lobby made sure he could buy them legally despite FBI investigations #Orlando

Actually, no — the NRA does not formulate law nor does it implement it.
Actress Felicity Huffman asked:

And was told she should direct the question elsewhere:
You should be asking that question to @CAIRNational not the @NRA https://t.co/krBLkfrDg6

Very true.
Hillary Clinton weighed in and decided to use the attack as a toll to fight for gun control.
The Hill reported:
Law enforcement and politicians have speculated about connections to terrorism.
Clinton went on to say that international terror groups need to be defeated and the U.S. should continue to counter their recruiting efforts.
“This was also an act of hate. The gunman attacked an LGBT nightclub during Pride Month. To the LGBT community: Please know that you have millions of allies across our country. I am one of them,” Clinton said.
The former secretary of State also called for gun control, saying the U.S. needs to keep guns “like the ones used last night” out of the hands of terrorists and criminals.
“This is the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States, and it reminds us once more that weapons of war have no place on our streets,” Clinton said.
