President Trump on Monday offered his "warmest condolences and sympathies" after at least 50 people were killed and at least another 200 injured in a mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday._ by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Oct 3, 2017 12:59 AM UTC President Trump on Monday offered his "warmest condolences and sympathies" after at least 50 people were killed and at least another 200 injured in a mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday. by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Oct 3, 2017 12:59 AM UTC Hillary Clinton on Monday criticized Republicans and the National Rifle Association for stopping [gun control policies](http://time.com/4965056/las-vegas-shooting-gun-silencer-bill/), speaking out after a [gunman killed 59 people](http://time.com/4964666/madalay-bay-las-vegas-shooting/?xid=homepage) at a music festival in Las Vegas. When asked in an interview with the Center for American Progress’ Thinking CAP podcast whether Republicans and the NRA are complicit in an epidemic of gun violence, Clinton said “of course they are.” “This is nothing but pure, unadulterated greed motivated by people who want to sell as many guns as they can, to engage in a falsity of fear and rhetoric about why everybody has to have guns,” she said, according to an excerpt. The full podcast episode will be released Thursday. “You know, the evidence is just so clear that more guns do not keep you safer and more guns in the wrong hands lead to terrible incidents,” she said. Clinton criticized the Trump administration, for example, for [repealing an Obama-era regulation](http://www.newsweek.com/trump-set-overturn-guns-mental-health-regulation-557237) that stopped certain people with a background of mental illness from obtaining firearms. “We see the horrors of Las Vegas,” she said. “It happens every day.” > [](https://twitter.com/ThinkingCAPpod/status/914951043313741826) ## Transcript [00:00] Many times when these [00:04] horrible massacres occur, it leads to questions about [00:06] gun control. Has this particular massacre made the [00:09] President think anything more about pursuing tighter [00:10] gun laws Such as background checks, to prevent [00:11] massacres like this from happening again? Look, [00:18] this is an unspeakable tragedy. Today is a day for [00:22] consoling the survivors and mourning those we lost. [00:26] Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with all of those [00:28] individuals. There's a time and place for a political [00:32] debate But now is the time to unite as a country. [00:36] There's currently an open and ongoing law [00:38] enforcement investigation, a motive as yet to be [00:41] determined, and it would be premature for us to [00:44] discuss policy when we don't fully know all the facts [00:48] or what took place last night. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4966501/hillary-clinton-gun-violence-nra-republicans/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4966501/hillary-clinton-gun-violence-nra-republicans/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton: 'Of Course' Republicans and NRA Are Complicit in Gun Violence","datePublished":"2017-10-03T00:59:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T09:54:59.376Z","description":"\"More guns in the wrong hands lead to terrible incidents\"","url":"https://time.com/4966501/hillary-clinton-gun-violence-nra-republicans/","keywords":["hillary clinton","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt21a97217288d3b0d/6988e03fab6d77558a6b009b/hillary-clinton-nra-gun-violence-las-vegas.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt21a97217288d3b0d/6988e03fab6d77558a6b009b/hillary-clinton-nra-gun-violence-las-vegas.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton Joins SiriusXM For A Town Hall Event Hosted By Zerlina Maxwell","caption":"Hillary Clinton Joins SiriusXM For A Town Hall Event Hosted By Zerlina Maxwell","creditText":"Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/hillary-clinton-2/","name":"hillary clinton"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4966501/hillary-clinton-gun-violence-nra-republicans/","name":"Hillary Clinton: 'Of Course' Republicans and NRA Are Complicit in Gun Violence"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"White House: It Is 'Premature' To Talk About Gun Control Laws After Las Vegas","description":"President Trump on Monday offered his \"warmest condolences and sympathies\" after at least 50 people were killed and at least another 200 injured in a mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uEAFXCnW/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-10-02T18:58:34.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uEAFXCnW.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4966501/hillary-clinton-gun-violence-nra-republicans/","duration":"PT50S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4966501/hillary-clinton-gun-violence-nra-republicans/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
