Kim Kardashian in a series of stories on Instagram reacted to the Texas school shooting tragedy. In the tragic incident, a teenage gunman shot and killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Kim in her post also drew attention to her 2017 blog post which she wrote in honour of National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

Sharing her old blog post that called for stricter gun laws, Kardashian wrote, “Unfortunately it has not aged.” She also expressed her grief and anger over the recent incident as she wrote, “Yesterday 19 children were murdered by an 18-year-old, and I find myself heartbroken, disgusted and furious about how little has been done by law makers to enact gun laws that protect our children. There is no excuse and no justification for what happened yesterday. The current laws in our country around gun control are not protecting our children. We have to push law makers to enact laws that are fitting in today’s world.”
