After meeting with Orlando victims, Obama renews call for gun control

WASHINGTON — President Obama said Thursday that destroying the Islamic State alone won't stop lone-wolf terror attacks as long as disturbed people have easy access to assault weapons.
Obama renewed his call for gun control legislation after a series of emotional private meetings in Orlando with the families of victims of the worst mass shooting in American history. Law enforcement officials say Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old security guard apparently inspired by a mix of radical Islamic propaganda and anti-gay hatred, shot and killed 49 people at a gay nightclub early Sunday morning.
"Those who were killed and injured here were gunned down by a single killer with a powerful assault weapon," Obama said. "The motives of this killer may have been different than the mass killers in Aurora, or Newtown. But the instruments of death were so similar. Now another 49 innocent people are dead. Another 53 are injured. Some are still fighting for their lives. Some will have wounds that will last a lifetime."
Obama tried to acknowledge the complex mix of motivations and causes of the Orlando attack, but focused mostly on just one: guns.
Calling on the Senate to reconsider gun safety legislation defeated after the 2012 shooting of first graders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Obama challenged opponents of gun control to meet with the families of the Orlando victims. "They don't care about politics. Neither do I. Neither does Joe," he said, standing beside Vice President Biden.
"I truly hope that senators rise to the moment and do the right thing. We can stop some tragedies. We can save some lives. If we don't act, we will keep seeing more massacres like this," he said.
Obama noted the role of the so-called Islamic State, also known as ISIL, in inspiring and encouraging terror attacks. But said the last two attacks — in San Bernardino and Orlando — were conducted by "deranged individuals warped by the hateful propaganda that they had seen over the Internet."
"It’s going to take more than just our military." he said. "If you have lone wolf attacks like this, hatched in the minds of disturbed persons, then we’re going to have to take different kinds of steps to prevent something like this from happening."
The president also expressed support for the gay community. "It's a good time for all of us to reflect on how we treat each other, and to insist on respect and equality for every human being," he said. "We have to end discrimination and violence against our brothers and sisters in the LGBT community."We have to end discrimination and violence against our brothers and sisters who are in the LGBT community — here at home and around the world
Obama's remarks to reporters followed private meetings with victims, police officers, doctors and staff of the Pulse nightclub where the shooting happened Sunday.
"As you might imagine, their grief is beyond description," Obama said. "Through their pain and through their tears, they told us about the joy that their loved ones had brought to their lives."
Obama and placed 49 white roses at a memorial for the 49 victims at a performing arts center near Orlando City Hall.
"Our hearts are broken, too. We stand with you," Obama said. "We are here for you."
In all, Obama spent about four hours in Orlando. Landing at Orlando International Airport with Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. and Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., Obama disembarked Air Force One and greeted Gov. Rick Scott and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, both Republicans. Obama also accepted a T-shirt from Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, a Democrat.
Obama and Biden then went to the Amway Center, an arena about two miles from Pulse, where an apparently self-radicalized security guard, Omar Mateen, opened fire early Sunday morning.
Outside, many residents gathered outside the Amway Center, hoping to catch a glimpse of the president or his motorcade.
"It shows the compassion in their hearts they have for the Americans in this great country. And we appreciate them being here," said Vinnie Cannady of the Carter Street Neighborhood Association, holding a small American flag while watching the motorcade arrive. "Unfortunately, a young man was totally confused about his identity and life. And selfish, to take innocent lives.
"But he will not stop the love in this great country," she said.
Obama has increasingly taken on the role of comforter-in-chief during his presidency, as mass shootings and terror attacks have brought him to communities like Newtown, Conn., Roseburg, Ore. and San Bernardino, Calif., where he's often met privately with victims of shooting attacks.
"This is a solemn responsibility," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday. "This is a responsibility that's all the more important when you're talking about the way that the LGBT community in Orlando came under attack on Saturday. And signs of support and comfort from the president of the United States should be a powerful affirmation for those American citizens."

Sheriff: Body of toddler found after Florida alligator attack
The body of a 2-year-old attacked by an alligator at a Disney World resort has been recovered. The boy was playing in the water when the gator dragged him under. ORLANDO — Authorities recovered the body of a 2-year-old boy dragged into the water by an alligator near a Disney resort, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said Wednesday.samuelrasaq.blogspot.com
Members of the sheriff's office dive team located the remains of the toddler, identified as Lane Graves, around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, nearly 17 hours after the reptile snatched the boy, Demings said. The body was discovered intact, he added.
Demings identified the parents as Matt and Melissa Graves of Elkhorn, Neb. The family was vacationing at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa in Orlando when the attack occurred in a man-made lake.
"It was a tough message to deliver to them," the sheriff said. He added the parents asked him to thank all the members of the public who prayed for the safe discovery of their little boy. Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger expressed his condolences in a statement released on Wednesday.
"As a parent and a grandparent, my heart goes out to the Graves family during this time of devastating loss," Iger said. "My thoughts and prayers are with them, and I know everyone at Disney joins me in offering our deepest sympathies."
The 7- to 8-foot reptile grabbed the boy late Tuesday as he was playing in about a foot of water at the Seven Seas Lagoon at the resort. His father, who quickly rushed to the boy's aid, could not fend off the alligator and received minor injuries to his hand.
The boy's mother also rushed into the water, but when the frantic couple were unable to save their son, they alerted a nearby lifeguard who called 911.
