Following this week’s tragic shooting at a movie theatre in Lafayette, Louisiana, that left three people dead an nine injured, Rebel Wilson is speaking up on social media, urging the U.S. to embrace the kind of gun-control laws that were instituted in her native country of Australia back in 1996.
“I don’t like getting political but America you really have to follow Australia’s example re gun laws,”; she wrote on Twitter.
