Before the details of the horrific shooting at an Oregon community college had even been released, celebrities took to Twitter to blame the NRA, capitalism, and gun owners for the carnage.
‘Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.’ Oh fuck off.

What are you going to do, America? Anything? Or does the slaughter just go on and on and on? #guns #oregon — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 1, 2015

45 school shootings in America this year. 0 new gun laws since Sandy Hook. Now this. SHAMEFUL. #oregon — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 1, 2015
Another massacre. Don’t wait to talk about it. Gun control now.

Sickened by the Portland shooting. Luckily @Stormof69 is currently making mincemeat of an NRA douche on Twitter. Follow her & breathe. — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) October 1, 2015
How can you be SO aggressively pro-life and not move an inch on gun control? You baffle me.

Fuck the NRA, fuck the gun nuts, fuck the Second Amendment — better yet, repeal the Second Amendment. — Dan Savage (@fakedansavage) October 1, 2015
Maybe gun purchasers should have to undergo an invasive ultrasound & be informed by a doctor of the possible consequences of their actions.

I’m not for taking away guns but I AM for taking the @NRA out of this conversation because only one thing matters to them. — Donté Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) October 1, 2015

The free market is not concerned about safety. The free market is concerned about gun manufacturers making as much profit as possible. — Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) October 1, 2015
What we’re seeing with gun violence in America is the logical conclusion of unrestricted capitalism.

Why should we give one single shit what Wayne LaPierre, who hasn’t had a child in school get shot, thinks about politicizing gun violence? — Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) October 1, 2015
Of course the gun lobby is powerful. They have guns.

Oh my god, Oregon State. When will this stop? This is madness. We must stop the NRA & its choke … https://t.co/0iJOViyOSm — rose mcgowan (@rosemcgowan) October 1, 2015
Let’s not forget that in the United States there is nothing we can do about gun control. Go NRA, always shoot first🇺🇸

The NRA is right. Give us all guns. So we can all just kill each other quickly and be done with the grieving. #UCCshooting — Lucas Neff (@RealLucasNeff) October 1, 2015
Innocent people continue to die and the government continues to cash them NRA checks, Gun laws need to change … https://t.co/at61Mr1JL0

Another school shooting. Yes, those opposed to gun control are morons. But the real blame lies with the rest of us for not DEMANDING change. — Greg Poehler (@GregPoehler) October 1, 2015
