Attacks referendum analogy 'completely pointless'

Conservative MP and former minister, Iain Duncan Smith, said he deplores those who have tried to link the EU referendum debate and the Orlando nightclub shooting.

Mr Duncan Smith was responding to Leave.eu campaign's claims that the free movement of Kalashnikovs in Europe helps terrorists and that people must "act before we see an Orlando style atrocity here".

The MP is a member of Vote Leave which was chosen ahead of Leave.eu as the officially designated Brexit campaign.
