## Transcript

On Sunday Americans woke up to a nightmare that's become mind numbingly familiar. The Orlando terrorist who may be dead, but the virus that poisoned And his mind remains very much alive. It's essential that we stop terrorists from getting the tools they need to carry out the attacks. If the FBI is watching you for suspected terrorists links, you shouldn't be able to just go buy a gun with no questions asked. And you shouldn't be able to exploit loopholes and evade criminal background checks by buying online or at a gun show. [ APPLAUSE ] And yes, if you're too dangerous to get on a plane, you are too dangerous to buy a gun in America.

[ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] To all the LGBT people grieving today in Florida, and across our country, you have millions of allies who will always have your back. [ APPLAUSE ] And I am one of them. [ APPLAUSE ] We should take a moment today amid our busy lives To think about them. To pray for everyone who was killed, for the wounded, those who are fighting to regain their lives and futures. For our first responders, who walked into danger one more time. As a mother, I can't imagine what those families are going through.
