Bennie Thompson actually said...

"We must be able to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists."

"Yet, many of the same people in this body and the administration who labeled past mass shootings... were quick to dismiss the notion that the Dallas attack was an act of terrorism."

"In contrast, last summer, when a gunman... opened fire on 9 parishioners in Charleston, South Carolina, many in this body... refused to label this attack an 'act of terrorism.'"

"Yet, in the hours and days post-Orlando, members of this body and the Executive branch wasted no time labeling this tragedy as an act of terrorism."
