The White House press secretary, Sarah Hakkabi Sanders, refused to answer the journalists' question about what changes in gun ownership policies should be expected after the shooting in Las Vegas, saying that it’s too early to talk about it, writes LA Times.

“This is an unspeakable tragedy. Today is a day to comfort survivors and mourn those we have lost. There is a time and place for political debate, but now is the time to unite,” said Huckabee Sanders.

Nevertheless, she did not rule out discussing the issue of tightening the rules of possession of weapons in the White House, saying that "this is an issue that will be discussed in the coming days."

She warned against hasty decisions and laws that, in her opinion, “will not stop the events like shooting in Las Vegas.”

“The only person with blood on his hands is the shooter. Therefore, now is not the time to harass and punish other people or organizations,” Sanders said.

During the election campaign and after his election, Trump often stated that he was in favor of possession of weapons; therefore, it is now quite difficult to predict his actions.

Sanders was unusually emotional, opening a briefing for the press on October 2, a woman could barely hold back tears, reading the names of the victims. After briefing representatives the press was invited to the national minute of silence, which Donald and Melania Trump conducted on the South Lawn of the White House.

Recall 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire at the Harve Route 91 festival in Las Vegas, where 22 000 fans of country music gathered. As a result 58 people died, more than 500 injured.
