Celebrities took to Twitter to call for increased gun control measures almost immediately after news broke of the shooting at a Sutherland Springs, Texas church on Sunday that claimed at least 24 lives.
The attack occurred at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, at approximately 11:30 a.m. central time. Celebrities began calling for gun control before the number of casualties was confirmed and before the gunman had been identified, or his possible motive discovered.
Horror novelist Stephen King was quick to call for new gun laws:
How many more have to die before we enact sane gun control laws?

King’s gun control push was echoed by comedian and actress Sarah Silverman:
[contentcards url=”http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2017/11/05/celebrities-call-gun-control-immediately-following-texas-church-shooting/” target=”_blank”]When a plane crashes, air travel becomes exponentially safer bc of the lessons learned. But 1 mass shooting after another…nothing.
