Well-known faces call out for stricter gun control after Florida shooting
At least 17 people died yesterday after a 19-year-old opened fire at an American High School in Parkland, Florida.
Since the news broke, a host of well-known faces have called for the American government to implement stricter gun control laws.
Kim Kardashian West was the first A-lister to have her say.
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

Followed quickly by Ellen DeGeneres, Reese Witherspoon, and Bette Midler.
Heartbroken over the news of another school shooting. This is the 18th in 45 days of 2018. Students & teachers shouldn't have to fear for their safety. We must do more to prevent these senseless acts of gun violence. My heart is w/ the people in Parkland, FL. Enough is enough.

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.

Actress Julianne Moore took to her social platforms to ask, “what will it take to change our nation’s gun laws?”
Other celebrities have paid tributes to the victims using the tag, #PrayforParkland.
