Former President Barack Obama commented on the tragic school shooting where 17 people lost their lives.
Obama tweeted to his 100 million followers his condolences but asked for common-sense gun laws.
“We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless,” he wrote.
We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change.

Obama’s comment is a stark difference from President Trump’s tweets from earlier Thursday, where he seemingly blamed the shooter’s “neighbors and classmates” for not stopping the tragedy in time.
