Only hours after a tragic concert shooting in Las Vegas, some celebrities were already rushing to push their politics on social media.

Although the notion that new gun laws would equal less violence has been disproven time and time again, anti-gun celebrities still take advantage of tragedy — and turn it into a platform to beg for laws that will make little to no difference (but will maybe help them sleep better at night because they’d feel they made a difference).

Regardless, there is a time for these conversations — and the time is not mere hours after a tragedy like this occurs.

Unfortunately, these celebrities simply could not help themselves.
