Celebs react to mass shooting

Calls for stricter gun control laws are getting louder now more than ever following the death of 17 people in a Florida high school shooting Wednesday afternoon.

Celebrities took to their social media accounts to condole with the families and friends of the victims and survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. But there is a bigger issue behind it: gun control.

Here are some reactions from celebrities, some of whom tagged the National Rifle Association in their statements.

NRA members, please demand safety reform and sensible #guncontrol. Put your foot down or this nightmare will never end. We need your help. Hold NRA leadership accountable. ALYSSA MILANO

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. MARK RUFFALO

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. ELLEN DEGENERES

Another school shooting, this time in Florida. Looks like America is now officially numb to this. If no one was gonna do anything after Sandy Hook, what makes us think anything will happen now? LEA SALONGA

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. KIM KARDASHIAN
