News flashes of another mass shooting in America drew a swift response from prominent Democrats, who swiftly moved to urge action on gun control, as this incident quickly took on political overtones.

"Congress has a moral responsibility to vote on common sense measures to prevent the daily agony of gun violence in communities across America. Enough is enough.”
