Following the attempted mass-assassination of GOP Congressmen while they practiced for a charity baseball game, Hollywood has jumped at the chance to push for gun control.
Sure, they all have armed bodyguards to protect them, but they don’t want normal Americans armed in order to protect ourselves.
Breitbart reports:
Following the news of Wednesday morning’s attack on Republican House and Senate baseball players and volunteers, Hollywood celebrities began tweeting that they hope the incident will finally motivate Congress to pass more intensive gun control measures.
Actress and staunch anti-gun advocate Julianne Moore expressed sadness that the shooting had occurred, but made clear she hoped it would lead Congress to “act” on gun control.
I am saddened by this shooting in our US Capitol. Please #Congress, what will it take for you to act?#gunsafety @Everytown @MomsDemand https://t.co/06kE35zgeT

The Wrap noted that Moore also retweeted comments from The Atlantic editor David Frum, wherein Frum responded to the shooting by criticizing the lack of gun control in Virginia.
Meanwhile, actor Denis O’Hare tweeted a plea for more gun control shortly after news of the shooting broke:
Can we start talking about meaningful Gun Safety Laws now??

. . . . Actress Mia Farrow also quickly focused on guns in the immediate aftermath of the attack:
too many guns,
too easy to get,
too easy to kill— Mia Farrow (@MiaFarrow) June 14, 2017
Please can we have a civil, balenced, bipartisan conversation about gun violence? Let’s try to save lives.

They’d rather deprive us of our Second Amendment rights than confront their own role in the divisive and violent anti-Trump mania they foment.
