Ashton Kutcher Calls For Gun Reform After Thousand Oaks Shooting
Ashton Kutcher is leading a call for action for stronger gun reform.
During his latest Twitter spree, the 40-year-old actor revealed that he recently had his birthday party at Borderlne Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, Calif — the same bar where a shooter opened fire on Wednesday night (November 7) killing 12 people.

“My wife threw me a birthday party this year at the Borderline. Only reason we are alive is the shooter chose a different night. My heart goes out to the victims. I’ll say it again… Gun Reform Now! Politicians need to stop standing behind the dollar & Protect the people!” Ashton first tweeted.
Among the victims was Tamera Mowry-Housley‘s 18-year-old niece Alaina.
“We all have a right to freedom unless you do something to lose that right and end up in jail. We all have a right to guns unless you do something to lose that right and get your gun taken away! Gun Reform Now!!!” Ashton also tweeted.
This isn’t an either/or it’s a both!Support mental health initiatives & support Gun Reform Now!! My friend gave me a gun as a gift in the parking lot of the borderline on my birthday. I’ve never shot it. I don’t think I ever will.❤️to the families of the lost. Change is coming

ATF needs to require background checks. Improve state and federal systems to vet owners and buyers. Tie mental health records to purchase of fire arms. Increase funding for mental health. Focus AG (when we get one) on gun trafficking and illegal acquisition. Gun Reform now!

The right to bear arms was built on the notion that we could form a militia to fight back against an unjust government. Is that realistic today? A nuclear bomb is an arm. Do you have the right to own that? Gun Reform Now!! No one is taking your guns.
