What Donald Trump Gets Wrong About Orlando is an article released just three days prior to this Blog Post. The New York Times Editorial (credentials mentioned in last blog post) lead by James Bennet goes into great detail about not only the Orlando Shooting, but also Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's reaction. The political argument of this article is that America needs to change gun regulation, by more restrictions. The New York Times believes it is our duty as a country to change something about the easy access to guns. Although the majority of this article talks about gun control in general, an important aspect is the reactions of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. This specific opinion editorial heavily criticized Trumps initial feedback about the tragic events. Shockingly enough, he exclaimed on Twitter that Obama needs to resign and congratulated himself for predicting such an assault. The New York Times talks in great detail about how this was not the appropriate response to this situation and is not an action that a possible president of the United States should do. In contrast, Clinton’s response represented the exact viewpoint of gun control that this newspaper expresses to be essential to America’s growth. “If the F.B.I. is watching you for a suspected terrorist link, you shouldn’t be able to just go buy a gun with no questions asked.” Both candidates of the presidential election agree that the Orlando shooting was a tragic event, but differ with their responses on how to change this country to avoid another mass shooting. Hillary Clinton is spot on and major revisions to gun laws need to be carried out.
