'We Can't Accept This As Normal': Kim Kardashian Pleads For Gun Control After Shooting

Kim Kardashian is speaking out following the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. As we all know now, on Tuesday, an 18-year-old gunman horrifically shot and killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in the small town about 80 miles west of San Antonio.

And now, as other celebs and high-profile people question how these tragedies can possibly still be happening at this unimaginable rate, the SKIMS mogul is speaking out, too.

Lamenting how little has changed, Kim’s new message began: And she reflected on the horrible tragedy in Uvalde: From there, she took to policy discussion, slamming the proliferation of assault weapons: The KKW Beauty mogul continued on: And she went on to add that she was “dumbfounded” as to how the weapons were still “normal, acceptable, and legal,” writing: The reality TV superstar added: Then she finished in a flourish, pleading for action to be taken by politicians nationwide: Along with her rousing thread, the mom of four also asked the country’s leaders to “come together… and put children first,” and shared a screenshot of her 2017 blog post, as you can see (below): Well said.
