Hollywood has reacted to the senate rejecting gun control bill offered in the aftermath of Orlando mass shooting. Kim Kardashian and John Legend are among those outraged by the result. Mia Farrow, Billy Eichner and Ilana Glazer has also expressed their frustration.
The gun control reform had four proposed amendments that would prevent terrorists on watch list to possess a gun and make the background check stricter. Despite polls showing that 90|percent| of Americans supported the amendments, none of them passed in the senate house.
"So sad!" Kim wrote in a series of tweets. "The senate voted against background checks being needed to buy guns. So terrorists on fbi's wanted lists can legally still buy guns. Oh & mentally ill people can buy guns without a background check too. The fact that anyone can so easily access guns is so scary & after all of the devastating loss the Senate should have not failed us!!!"

In a similar tone, John Legend tweeted, "The foolishness and heartlessness coming from our Congress re: gun control is not surprising, but still so very disappointing and shameful. You don't get to talk 'tough on terror' if you're too afraid of the NRA to do anything about guns. You're a coward. We have to vote the GOP out of leadership of both House & Senate to get anything done on guns. Please vote in November."

Billy Eichner commented, "The Senate just voted 2 block gun safety reforms inspired by the Orlando massacre. If ur not outraged ur not a human being. This is insanity."
