(AP) -- Donald Trump opened his speech in the wake of the night club murders in Orlando with a moment of silence and prayers for the city's gay and lesbian community.
He says the nation's deadliest mass murder is, "an assault on the ability of free people to live their lives, love who they want and express their identity."
The presumptive Republican nominee also called again for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. for an indeterminate time.
He says he will "suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism" against the U.S. or its allies.
Trump adds, "We have no choice."
