Like many other celebrities and politicians, the reality star believes stricter gun laws are the answer.<\/p>\n<p>The 41-year-old TV personality shared her thoughts in an impassioned social media post Wednesday, per the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-10854791\/Kim-Kardashian-makes-plea-gun-control-Texas-school-shooting.html\">Daily Mail<\/a>. In the wake of the Texas tragedy that left 19 elementary school children dead, Kardashian pleaded for lawmakers to \u201cput children first\u201d by making it harder to own firearms.<\/p>\n<p>The mother of four started out by reminding followers of a blog post she\u2019d written four years ago, which asked, \u201cIs it more important to protect the second amendment that to protect our own children?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kardashian said in her Instagram stories, \u201cI find myself heartbroken, disgusted, and furious about how little has been done by law makers to enact gun laws that protect our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no excuse and no justification for what happened yesterday,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe 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\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kardashian goes on to discuss how no 18-year-old should be able to own a firearm, and that the legal age to buy a gun should be \u201caddressed and increased.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are of course people over 21 who buy guns to cause harm, and other mass shootings in recent years have been carried out by people over 21, but if we increase legal age to purchase, coupled with a ban on assault weapons, we can without a doubt reduce the number of senseless tragedies and save children\u2019s lives,\u201d the reality star wrote.<\/p>\n<p>She went on, \u201cWe can\u2019t accept this as normal anymore. It\u2019s not normal for a teenager to kill children. It\u2019s not normal for our kids to be practicing active shooter drills in schools. It\u2019s not normal to be shot while shopping for groceries. I\u2019m not numbed by it. I will never be numbed by it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kardashian also blames \u201cmental health, racism, and deep-seated hatred\u201d as factors that lead to mass shooting events. However, she says limiting \u201caccess to weapons\u201d will make a difference in the number of times these incidents occur.<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old suspect in the Texas elementary school massacre allegedly shot his grandmother before stealing her vehicle and driving to Robb Elementary, where he opened fire on students and teachers. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the shooter had no recorded mental problems and that he did not have a criminal record.<\/p>\n<p>Kardashian joins a chorus of celebrities and politicians using the shooting to advocate for stricter gun laws, while those opposed say a more effective solution would be installing armed security guards at schools and installing metal detectors at a single point of entry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Kardashian has some thoughts on how to prevent future school shootings.
