Hollywood celebrities took little time to capitalize on Tuesday’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, urging voters and lawmakers to support stricter gun controls and accuse Republicans and other supporters of Second Amendment rights of hunting.
Celebrities such as Alyssa Milano, Rob Reiner, Elizabeth Banks, Bette Midler, Piper Perabo and Stephen King took advantage of the event to force familiar Democratic refrains.
“To hell with the Republican Party and its obsession with guns,” Milan wrote.
“When you enter the voting booth this fall, VOTE FOR WEAPON CONTROL,” King wrote.
“Legislators should reasonably limit gun ownership. Action. Law insisted Perabo.
According to Breitbart News, 19 students and two adults were killed in a shooting Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Authorities identified the attacker as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, who lives in Uvalda. They said that Ramos was dead and believed to have been killed by the arriving officers.
“Texas residents across the state mourn the victims of this senseless crime and the Uvalde community,” said Gov. Gregg Abbott (R) said in a statement. “Cecilia and I mourn this terrible loss and call on all Texans to come together to express our unwavering support to all who have suffered.”
Instead, Hollywood stars took advantage of the event to gain political points.
Actress Alyssa Milano blamed Republicans like actor-director Rob Reiner for the hunt.
Fuck the Republican Party and the gun obsession.

Too many children in America also commit suicide because of the disgusting, racist bullying of LGBTQs. Stress, pressure, and extreme fear attack their minds every day. Stop. It affects their mental health.#Gun ControlNow
