Let's never become numb to this ceaseless gun violence. It cannot be our norm. Love to all in Louisiana.

If you say 'Unfollow' after I post about Sandra Bland or gun control, I didn't want you here in the first place

I don't like getting political but America you really have to follow Australia's example re gun laws.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) July 24, 2015
I don't remember a mass shooting in Australia since they overhauled the gun laws. It seems like every week in America there's a shooting.

I just want people to be safe, especially people that are doing one of my favorite things in the WORLD - going out to the movies 2 have fun.

Please. No more guns. Please. Churchgoers, school children, moviegoers...how many more innocent people have to die before we change?

Ok? Can we stop blaming our "content" and focus on mental health and gun availability? Prayers to Lafayette....#heartbreaking

Another mass shooting in America. Another chance for America to do absolutely nothing to stop more mass shootings. http://t.co/3GqB6PUJxz

Less than 100 people in America killed by terrorists since 9/11. 448,000 killed by guns in same period.

#Lafayette, #Chattanooga, #Charleston. Heartbreaking...too much. Too many guns too easily gotten by psychos.

Bobby Jindal on the scene in #Lafayette attempting "Presidential," proclaiming "evil" & calling for prayer...but never tougher gun laws.
