Stars Speak Up
After back-to-back shootings in Texas and Ohio, these celebs demand change
RIHANNA
“Imagine a world where it’s easier to get an AK-47 than a VISA!… My prayers and deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims and the communities affected and traumatized...”
JOHN LEGEND
“Our nation is experiencing these traumas far too often and we need our leaders to take urgent action: Take these weapons of war off the street and fight the evil ideology of white nationalism that motivates many of these terrorists.”
MANDY MOORE
“Any member of Congress who is not actively in the fight for gun safety reform is not fit to represent us. Period. The inaction is reprehensible. 2 mass shootings in 24 hours? We simply can’t stand by and let this continue to happen.”
LILI REINHART
“I am sick to my stomach over what has happened in El Paso today.
I can’t believe this is happening in my country and no one is doing anything about it. Who has to die for laws to change?”
ARMIE HAMMER
“Friendly reminder: There has been more than 1 mass shooting per day this year... and of the people who didn’t die and went to the hospital, just remember that 62% of all American bankruptcies are due to medical bills.”
EVA LONGORIA
“It’s heartbreaking and horrifying every time. I just ask that people don’t get numb to it. We can’t stay numb; we have to have action. It’s definitely a mental-health problem, but we need some gun reform.”
