The Connecticut school shooting that left 27 people dead including as many as 20 children has prompted Hollywood celebrities to demand stricter gun control because they believe it will prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
Too soon to speak out about a gun-crazy nation? No, too late, far-left filmmaker Michael Moore tweeted. At least THIRTY-ONE school shootings since Columbine.
The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy, he added.
Screenwriter Kevin Williamson agreed. We need gun control. Stop defending your right to bear arms. Youre stupid, he tweeted.
Pop singer Michelle Branch tweeted: Gun control people!!! My heart is breaking. As a parent this is my worst nightmare.
Parks and Recreation star Rashida Jones said that gun control is our only road to freedom via her official Twitter account.
Freedom from the fear of senselessly losing children. Im so saddened. WE NEED LAWS NOW, she added.
CNN host Piers Morgan wondered aloud on Twitter whether President Barack Obama would have the courage to stand up to the American gun lobby. He also tweeted the hashtag #guncontrol.

20 children were killed today near China, with a knife.
Its so funny seeing these leftist Hollywood parasites going on and on about gun control, then they make movie after movie after movie with non stop gun violence that they make money off of..then they preach to US about gun control..unbelievable
How much you want to bet she has a swimming pool?
All you celebs can ESAD.
Gun control advocates celebrate..
see immediate nationwide confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.. criminals later (if it's not too difficult).
Speaking about gun owners
Hot damn! We got 'em on the lam!
they cheered repeatedly.
I think Orwell was going to use that line in his book, but the publisher told him to shorten it to Slavery is Freedom
Seriously, why do we even care what the nitwits in Hollywood think. I propose that no left leaning celebrity be allowed to employ armed bodyguards or own any weapons of self defense.
How many characters in movies, music videos, cartoons, tv shows needlessly died today due to guns?
I wonder how many “celebrities” killed their own offspring in the womb...ya know...for “convenience”.
“Gun Control is our only road to freedom” by someone I’ve never heard of, Rashida Jones. Oh yeah. Freedom, the obama way. Right. You know what, Rashida? Up yours.
There is a common denominator in all these mass shootings, both school and non-school shootings. That is they are ALL “GUN FREE ZONES”! I propose that we refer to “gun free zones” as free fire zones.
If guns are the problem why don’t we have mass shootings at trap and skeet ranges? In fact when I shoot skeet I don’t even lock my truck - who would be stupid enough to mess with it?
I guess Hollywood is content with majority-rightwing police and military owning all the weapons exclusively then...right?
YEA! And while we’re at it, let’s ban heroine and meth too!
I demand celebrity control. After all I have as much say as they do.
Once upon a time, we lived within a nation of laws based upon facts. Currently we live within a nation of emotions based upon lies to feed the frenzy of emotions. When facts are presented to those who want to react based upon emotions, the facts are one miss upon another miss when confronting a zombie. Eventually the non-zombie is eaten. The zombie doesn’t care. The zombie was already dead. Facts only mean something to the living. Emotions are a form of preparing for death.
If anyone wonders why movies and entertainment sucks these days compared to 30+ years ago, the reasons are illustrated by the comments of Michael Moore, et. al.
It didn’t take long for the enemies of freedom to bathe themselves in the blood of the victims and call for gun control. That despicable POS in the white house was calling for it (though not by name) less than 6 hours after the tragedy.
Doesn't fit the narrative. Down the memory hole.
Let's be honest, WHO is REALLY more responsible for what happened today?
The NRA or,
The turds Hollywood sends down their sewer pipe into the theaters and onto the TVs of America?
The cable news "media's" glorification of these incidents with their constant 24/7 coverage. No one can tell me that the mall shooting didn't encourage this sleazebag and put crazy ideas into his head. He was looking for his "15 minutes". Cable news will give you a hell of a lot more than 15 minutes.
Would you please provide a link so that I may share the story?
