Watch: Obama On Gun Laws A Week Before Orlando Shootings

A video of Barack Obama speaking on the perverse nature of US gun laws has emerged in the wake of the Orlando shootings.

The US president talks about a meeting he came from in the Situation Room where known extremists in the US have been on ISIL websites.

He points out how absurd it is that he can put these people on the no-fly list when it comes to airlines, but because of the National Rifle Association he cannot prohibit them from buying a gun.

An American-born man killed 50 people early Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation’s worst terror attack since 9/11.

Watch the video below:
