Liberal politicians, celebrities, and activists are leaping at the chance to advance their gun control agenda and blame their political opposition for the tragic shooting at an elementary school in Texas that left 14 children and one teacher dead.
Author Stephen King, athlete LeBron James, and director Rob Reiner were among the first celebs to demand gun control in response to the Robb Elementary School shooting on Tuesday.
GUN CONTROL NOW!
STOP THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS!— Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 24, 2022
The blood of every child that dies of gun violence in this country is on the hands of the Republican Party.
— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) May 24, 2022
My thoughts and prayers goes out to the families of love ones loss & injured at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX! Like when is enough enough man!!! These are kids and we keep putting them in harms way at school. Like seriously "AT SCHOOL" where it's suppose to be the safest!

The usual Democrat Party politicians like Hillary Clinton and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) quickly jumped on the tragedy to push for more gun control:
“After years of nothing else, we are becoming a nation of anguished screams. We simply need legislators willing to stop the scourge of gun violence in America that is murdering our children,” Hillary Clinton says after Texas elementary school shooting. https://t.co/bfC9IMz2IS pic.twitter.com/jeT7QUsvnW

I wish I could look at my 3 small kids & promise I’ll always protect them. That’d be a lie. America arms the most dangerous people to the teeth, leaving every child vulnerable to being shot in their class. This is not a policy defect. It is by GOP design.
RIP victims of #Uvalde

Sen. Chris Murphy delivers remarks on Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting: “What are we doing? What are we doing?…This only happens in this country and nowhere else. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day." https://t.co/Zh3OvUaIwm pic.twitter.com/TjJVoaFbRN

Horrified and sickened by mass murder in broad daylight at Robb Elementary School in Texas. Our hearts grieve with the traumatized families of Uvalde.
Congress must confront the nightmare of gun violence in America and its savage toll on our people.— Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin) May 24, 2022
Another day, another mass shooting, and more silence from the gun lobby and Republicans who refuse to allow any gun safety reforms to occur. Reports that 14 elementary school students and a teacher have been murdered are beyond tragic.

Countless blue checkmark activists also piled on, blaming Republicans and the NRA for the evil actions of 18-year-old shooter Salvador Ramos.

School shootings are not fucking acts of nature, like hurricanes and tornadoes. They're man-made acts of inaction, of cowardice, of corruption by all lawmakers who refuse to pass laws PROVEN BY DATA to stop preventable, senseless shootings like in Uvalde.

Someone killed 14 children and 1 teacher at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX. I’m wholly devastated.
We live in a society where power absolutely refuses to protect our children. How many more kids have to die before power makes radical changes to these horrific conditions?

14 kids killed in Uvalde, Texas all because of someone’s freedom to own a gun being more important than our right to life.
Banning books doesn’t fucking protect children.

These shootings are a policy choice by Republicans. #Uvalde pic.twitter.com/All9XKSBWU

14 CHILDREN DEAD, 1 TEACHER IN UVALDE.
THE GOP HAS BLOOD ON ITS HANDS.
AGAIN.— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) May 24, 2022
If you are one of the spineless cowards held hostage by the gun-lobby and have been an obstacle to sensible gun reform, just shut the fuck up, right now. https://t.co/ajudOLH7mu

Nothing is sacred to the Democrats as long as they can find a way to advance their political agenda.
