Following the mass shooting that took place in Orlando early Sunday morning, Kim Kardashian took to Twitter to make yet another call to Congress to close the “terror gap.”
Kim explained the terror gap concept to her followers while asking Congress to change gun laws that give people on terror watch lists easy access to purchase weapons.
Under current federal law people on terror watch lists can legally buy guns – this is called the Terror Gap

We have repeatedly called on Congress to close this loophole that makes it easy for dangerous people to get guns & kill.

Kim has previously used her platform to speak up about the need for stricter gun laws in the United States. After Valerie Jackson and her family were murdered by her ex-boyfriend David Conley in 2015, Kim took to Twitter to highlight issues with gun safety.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is just one of many celebrities tweeting their anger and heartbreak following the events at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. We can only hope that something changes and that mass shootings become much less common.
