"GUN CONTROL NOW. ENOUGH ALREADY," Billy Eichner tweeted.
"GUN CONTROL NOW. ENOUGH ALREADY," Billy Eichner declared on Twitter after a gunman opened fire at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night, killing over 50 people and injuring hundreds more.
Since news broke of the horrific incident that took place at the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival while Jason Aldean was performing, a number of celebrities have taken to social media to not only offer their condolences to the victims of the attack, but to also speak out about instilling stricter gun control laws in America.
In addition to Eichner, Lady Gaga, Julianne Moore and Emmy Rossum were among the celebrities to post passionate, take-charge messages following the shooting. The hashtag #guncontrol has also started trending on Twitter.
"Prayers are important but @SpeakerRyan @realDonaldTrump blood is on the hands of those who have power to legislate," Gaga tweeted to America's leaders. "#GunControl act quickly."
Meanwhile, Moore tweeted out a way for her followers to participate in the movement to end gun violence. "I mourn this senseless loss of life. What will it take, #Congress, for you to act? @Everytown @MomsDemand #endgunviolence," the actress wrote. "Today we mourn for Las Vegas, tomorrow we fight for them. Join the movement to end gun violence: Text ACT to 64433."

But I know we need to work harder to make sure that this stops happening. Because we are failing our children and each other right now. ENOUGH."
Troian Bellisario: "I hate to tell anyone what to do or to make them feel as though I want to take away their rights at a citizen. I do not. But the simple fact is the more guns we have, the easier they are to access, the more tragedies like #lasvegas we will have to endure in our future."

There is no post I can make that will heal the pain and heartache that is being felt in Las Vegas today, but we NEED change. We can not continue to let this list grow. We can not grow accustom to waking up to this kind of terrorism in our country. We can not make this normal. How are we going to end gun violence?"

"I am someone who has a voice right now, and I feel really passionately about it, and it's so heartbreaking," she told ET. "It's just, like, enough. So, if not me, then who? And I hope other people will follow suit."
