US president tells memorial for Washington navy yard victims Americans must not accept mass shootings as inevitable. President Barack Obama has called for a transformation in US gun laws at a memorial service for the Washington navy yard shooting victims, saying, “There’s nothing inevitable about it.”
Obama said Americans should honour the victims of last Monday’s shooting by insisting on a change in gun laws. “It ought to obsess us,” Obama said.
