This week, America was rocked with yet another deadly school shooting, this time in Parkland, Fla., at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The tragedy marks one of the deadliest school shootings in the country’s history, with 17 people killed.

Quickly after news of the attack broke, celebrities responded on social media by sending their condolences to the victims and their families. Some, including Reese Witherspoon, Ellen DeGeneres, Mark Ruffalo, and Chelsea Handler, went beyond just “thoughts and prayers” though and spoke out about the importance of gun control legislation.

Kim Kardashian was one of those celebrities. In the hours after the shooting, the mom of three wrote on Twitter: “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.”

Kardashian is no stranger to criticism — she’s arguably one of the most scrutinized celebrities — but her tweet about gun control really rubbed some people the wrong way. As one Twitter user told Kim: “Please stick to reality shows.” Another wrote, “Posting naked photos with your toddler on Monday. Telling the public how society should be run on Wednesday.”

Clearly some people don’t take the makeup mogul’s stance on gun control seriously, but regardless of people’s views on her opinion, Kardashian’s words on the issue have been consistent for years.

Kardashian’s most recent tweet about gun violence isn’t her first. More than two years ago, she posted several tweets about David Conley, who bought a gun online to kill his ex-girlfriend, her husband, and her six children, including his own son.

Guns and Nudity which kills slower?
