(CNN) – Armed gangs on motorcycles roamed the streets of 15 major cities across the US yesterday in a night of terror unlike anything America has seen in its history.

Witnesses claim the coordinated attacks were led by the Dreadnok motorcycle gang, although members of as many as 25 different gangs have been identified as participating in the attacks. The U.S. death toll from the attacks has now climbed to 44 as nine states still reel from the effects of the attack hours after it ravaged cities from coast to coast of the US.

President Dunham immediately denounced the attacks, “I have never seen in my lifetime or in modern US history a coordinated attack of this magnitude. It’s unprecedented. Those participating in the attacks will be arrested and detained, and we will handle this quickly so can find closure and start to rebuild."

The president used the opportunity to call for a renewal of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, citing the use of extremely heavy firepower used by the gangs in their assaults. The NRA immediately released a statement claiming the guns were brought into the US illegally and a ban on assault weapons would not have prevented the nationwide tragedy.

Republican presidential nominee John MacLeod was quick to blame the attacks on the Dunham administration. "This is what happens when you have a president that is soft on terror; soft on crime," he declared at a press conference hours after the attacks.

MacLeod further criticized the president for not using the word 'terror' in his remarks, stating, "The President is afraid to acknowledge this for what it is - a terrorist attack on US soil."
