Hollywood Calls for Stronger Gun Laws, Action After Florida High School Shooting

No words, no actions, no laws are enough until we end this epidemic of school shootings in our country. My heart is with the students and parents of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

@TheEllenShow

We have to elect candidates that are not funded by the NRA in November. We have an opportunity to elect candidates who won't allow kids to go to school and get shot. It is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing. You all have blood on your hands.

@chelseahandler

We owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school. Prayers won't do this: action will. Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence

@KimKardashian

Prayers without accordant action are silent lies told to oneself, heard by no God, amounting to nothing. Action is the language of truth, the prayers of the Saints.

@MarkRuffalo

Like thousands in South Florida, we sent the boys to school in Broward County this morning... there are no words to describe the despair, horror & anger. This does not have to be our collective reality. How many more? How many children must not make it home?

Another school shooting, this in FLA. Congrats to the spineless cowards who do nothing to help us stem this horrific epidemic, ie CONGRESS

@BetteMidler

When
Will
The @GOP
Stop
Being
OWNED
By
The @NRA
And
FINALLY
Do
ANYTHING
About #GunControl?

Never.

Their thoughts and prayers mean nothing.

We must replace them all.

@BeauWillimon

Then do something about it. https://t.co/0MLYXK7CEI

@GavinNewsom

But we do. We feel unsafe.
And the vast majority of us also feel the issue is being completely neglected by the people we elected to solve these issues.
Bump stocks still legal
Gun show loophole still open
Universal background checks not implemented.

@EmbryEthan

The images coming out of Parkland are horrific.
Heart breaking.
My anger and disgust at this point has shifted from the perpetrators of these nightmares to our elected officials.

@EmbryEthan

Florida ... I love you. I am devastated for you. There are no words.

When will it be enough, leaders? When will you do something? How many more children have to run from their schools, sobbing, with their hands up? How many?

@SophiaBush

This domestic terrorism has got to be stopped. We have to be better than this as a society. #GunControlNow

@MrPeytonReed

Another tragic school shooting. 18 just this year! Hey Congress, your thoughts and prayers aren't working. Try something else you cowards.

@AlbertBrooks

BAN AR-15s https://t.co/KeaarLaJmg

@druidDUDE

Ok, well you can get hung up on the verbiage all you want, but that doesn't negate what a semi-automatic rifle just killed 17 people today and 50+ in Vegas. Call it whatever name you want...people can't do that with the bare hands. Mental health + gun control. https://t.co/FhBWzcJTAa

@druidDUDE

Broward school shooting--There will be prayers from Blabbermouth Don, Pence the Grinch, and their rightwing cohorts. There will be no call for any sort of sane gun regs.

@StephenKing

Sending all my love and prayers to the families affected in Florida. More lives lost due to gun violence.. I don't understand how this is still happening after all the horrifying tragedies we've witnessed! My heart is in pieces today.

@haileybaldwin

Here's an idea, US media: devote 1/10th of the frantic relentless energy you expand on whacking Trump to demanding gun control.
Your supine 'oh no, not again!' attitude to this issue is pathetic.

@piersmorgan

Any member of our government that gets an A rating from the NRA and happily cashes checks from the gun lobby should have to clean up the blood at every single school shooting #FuckYourThoughtsAndPrayers #SensibleGunControlNOW

@MissLeslieG

I'm not going to bother tweeting out any hashtag about gun violence prevention because I have given up. I'm not angry anymore. I'm just sad and resigned to this continuing to happen over and over again because the @GOP will do nothing to change gun laws. Blame them and the @NRA!

@ThePerezHilton

If people can blame drug dealers for the drug problem then we can blame the @NRA for the mass shooting problem.

@PattyArquette

Is ANYFUCKINGBODY IN OUR WHITE HOUSE OR CONGRESS PLANNING ON TAKING ACTION TO TIGHTEN GUN LAWS!!!! How many mass shootings must we endure before something is done to minimize this?!?!??

@MarlonWayans

Our Congress has allowed NRA to hold a gun to their heads. They cowardly refuse to take any sensible measure to make it harder for criminals, crazies and kids to get these weapons. We will see this news story every week until we make them change.

@IJasonAlexander

Then do something about it. https://t.co/0MLYXK7CEI

@GavinNewsom

My heart deeply hurts for the children and their families in South Florida that are going through a living hell.

These senseless acts have to stop.

Enough!

@tyrabanks

💔 #GunControlNow Sending out all my thoughts, love and anger along with the families friends and community of the Victims in Florida #parklandshooting #guncontrol. We Must Take Action. Changes must happen #WhatIfItHappenedToYou https://t.co/0ccJ28X4hK

@DanielNewman

My heart 💔 #Florida #Parkland I'm with you.

@BaileeMadison

Such a sad and scary world we live in these days. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims and families affected by this tragedy in Florida today... 😪

@scheana

My prayers go out to the affected families in my hometown state of #Florida , absolutely horrible.

@VINNYVINSANE

Heard the word “tragedy” 100 times already about the school shooting - not really, by the classical definition: tragedy is fated and inevitable. This isn't inevitable. This is America.

@billmaher

My heartfelt prayers to all the victims and their families as we all try to process another senseless shooting. I have no words... 💔 #Parkland

@LoriLoughlin

Noooo. Not again 😢 something has to be done !! https://t.co/wwYrtW5DTg
