Hollywood Calls for Stronger Gun Laws, Action After Florida High School Shooting

"No words, no actions, no laws are enough until we end this epidemic of school shootings," writes Ellen DeGeneres.
Many of the biggest names in Hollywood are calling for more than "thoughts and prayers" after the horrific school shooting in Florida.
A gunman -- identified as former student Nicolas Cruz -- opened fire inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on Wednesday, resulting in "numerous fatalities." At least 17 people were killed. The shooter, who reportedly used an AR-15, is in custody.
While the story is still unfolding, top names in Hollywood have turned to Twitter to plead for stronger gun laws and some action.
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.
We have to elect candidates that are not funded by the NRA in November. We have an opportunity to elect candidates who won’t allow kids to go to school and get shot. It is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing. You all have blood on your hands.
Prayers without accordant action are silent lies told to oneself, heard by no God, amounting to nothing. Action is the language of truth, the prayers of the Saints.
Like thousands in South Florida, we sent the boys to school in Broward County this morning... there are no words to describe the despair, horror & anger. This does not have to be our collective reality. How many more? How many children must not make it home?
