Kim Kardashian: Reality star has reacted to the Orlando shooting in Florida

Kim Kardashian West has made an impassioned stand against US gun control laws after the devastating scenes in Orlando.

The 35-year-old tweeted yesterday in support of more gun control after 50 people were killed and 53 injured in the shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday.

“I’m truly at a loss for words. To everyone in Orlando affected by this massacre, my thoughts, love, & prayers are with u,” she tweeted to her more than 45 million followers on Sunday morning.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star weighed back in to the debate later in the day with a series of tweets expressing outrage at America’s lack of gun regulation.

“Under current federal law people on terror watch lists can legally buy guns — this is called the Terror Gap,” she wrote. “We have repeatedly called on Congress to close this loophole that makes it easy for dangerous people to get guns & kill. Nothing has changed!!!! People continue to senselessly die. When will these gun laws be changed?!”

Kardashian retweeted others expressing similar sentiments, including one from popular YouTuber Troye Sivan about Australia’s successful response to a mass shooting by enacting gun control measures. In that case, a shooter killed 35 people in a small Tasmanian town with an AR-15 rifle, the same make as reportedly used in the Orlando shootings this weekend, as well as in other recent mass shootings in the U.S.
