Over the weekend, we saw the worst mass shooting in the history of the United States at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando. Today on 'The BradCast' we discuss what happened, the reactions to it from President Obama and many others, including Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, who lied about the tragedy to say that the alleged killer was a Muslim born overseas. (He wasn't. He was born in New York. Like Trump.)\xa0 But, while we cover what we know about what happened, we also discuss how it might never have happened in the first place had the terrorist-enabling NRA - and the Republican Party they support - not fought so hard to ensure that those suspected of involvement with terror organizations still be allowed to easily and legally purchase all of the semi-automatic, military-style assault weapons and large capacity magazines that they need in order to carry out the type of mass shooting we saw, yet again, over the weekend in Orlando. More than 100 were shot at the Pulse nightclub alone, thanks in no small part to the millions of dollars spent over many years by the NRA and and the GOP officials who have voted repeatedly to allow even those on the so-called 'Terror Watch List' to buy weapons, as al-Qaeda and other groups have long publicly instructed their followers. In the meantime, the NRA-owned GOP officials offer nothing more than lies and 'thoughts and prayers' in response, as the gun violence body count continues to grow in these 'locked and loaded' United States of America.
