Mr Obama delivered a devastatingly frank, honest address to the nation in October previous year after the Umpqua Community College shooting in which 10 people were killed (including the perpetrator). Obama pressed the U.S. Congress on Friday to avoid a government shutdown when federal spending authority runs out on March 27, saying it is the “right thing to do”.

“Each time, we’re told that commonsense reforms like background checks might not have stopped the last massacre, or the one before that, so we shouldn’t do anything”, Obama said. “They don’t do them”, Trump added.
But a number of Republican presidential candidates this weekend denounced Obama’s potential plans.
