Calls For Change
“Today THREE 9-year-old children were massacred alongside three adults,” the post began. “There have been 140 mass shootings in America and it is March. When does this madness end?”
“How are books being banned and not assault weapons?” The post continued, “Drag hasn’t killed a single child but politicians are spending all of their time and energy making sure it’s banned, but every F—ING day another child is killed by guns.”
Gad went on to write, “Spare me the “buts,” spare me the “it’s mental illness,” spare me all the faux outrage over emails and drag shows and pictures of a naked statue.” These comments referenced recent events where politicians have made claims that the previous things were causing corruption in children.
Public Outrage
“Every single politician who takes a stand on all the bull—- but silently continues to accept money from the NRA isn’t simply a coward, they are complicit in the ongoing murder of our children. When do we say enough? When are we going to be angry enough to say our children shouldn’t have to fear every day at school being their last? When will it f—ing end?”
Other celebs have spoken out about the shooting, expressing concern, outrage, and calling for change.
Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill posted his concerns to Twitter. “A school shooting just happened near my sons school. Multiple children dead but let’s make sure that the gunman had his 2nd Amendment rights. F— you Bill Lee and f— the NRA.”
