Megan shared a lengthy message to her Instagram story that mentioned the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent overturn of Roe v. Wade, and fans quickly reposted it to their own Instagram or Twitter accounts. “f*ck yes government! take away womens rights to our own bodies…but whatever you do America, please! keep insuring that these incels have easy and legal access to military grade firearms,” she wrote sarcastically in the beginning of the post.

“The Supreme Court would rather focus on restricting women and LGBTQIA’s than focus on getting weapons out of the hands of dangerous violent and mentally unstable individuals,” she concluded.

Rob Reiner

To be 100% clear. There will be nothing significant done on Gun Safety, Women’s Reproductive Rights, Voting Rights, the Environment, or anything else unless we hold the House, add 2 Senate seats, and kill the filibuster. VOTE!!!

There will be nothing significant done on Gun Safety, Women’s Reproductive Rights, Voting Rights, the Environment, or anything else unless we hold the House, add 2 Senate seats, and kill the filibuster. VOTE!!!” he wrote in a tweet.

“The cycle continues. It’s going to continue until we see real CHANGE and ACTION for stricter gun laws,” she wrote in the caption of her tweet.

Ana Navarro

Hey, @NRA. Get my name the hell off your list. I think you’re a gross, corrupt organization, which puts money and influence over lives, and is complicit in holding elected officials hostage in the face of the mass-shooting epidemic afflicting America.

I grew up in Highland Park. I’m actively reaching out to check on the welfare of people I still know there. My heart is always broken by these constant mass shootings no matter where they occur but today I’m extra heartbroken. And extra angry at the senselessness.
