The shooter, Omar Mateen, had been on a watch list for 10 months before being removed. It's unclear whether all sides can find common ground on the watch list issue in the coming days.

He said those on a watch list who try to buy a gun "should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI and the sale delayed while the investigation is ongoing."
