The White House today demanded the Republican-controlled Congress pass legislation blocking extremists from obtaining assault weapons like the one used in the Orlando club shooting.
"There are certain common sense things that Congress could do that would make it harder for any individual to get their hands on a weapon of war," said spokesman Josh Earnest following the Orlando shooting.
"The president has been quite frustrated, and in some cases even angry, about congressional inaction," he said.
