In the wake of the largest mass shooting in the US took place at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando on Sunday morning, a familiar call-to-action has loudly risen: enact gun control.

The video above was made three years ago, after mass shootings with deadly assault rifles took lives in Columbine, Sandy Hook, Aurora, San Bernardino.
Four years ago, former US President Bill Clinton said, “A great democracy does not make it harder to vote than to buy an assault weapon.”
Today, survivors and witnesses persevere with pride, strength, courage and love. Yet this tragedy has to be wake-up call for a country with some of the highest rates of gun violence in the world. This has to be a time to act decisively to rein in the continuous terror
In light of that reality, many celebrities, activists, and others are demanding to #EndGunViolence.
Email or call your Representative and ask them why they have done nothing to #EndGunViolence#Orlandohttps://t.co/GDvX9u3nKU

Horrified by the mass shooting in Orlando. When will we do something to prevent these killing sprees?

This isn't about terrorism or Islam.
It's about hate. Just hate.
