We're used to seeing Kim Kardashian posting her buns on social media, but this time she’s all about guns.
In the wake of the shocking mass shootings at two mosques in New Zealand, the reality TV star has come out in support of leaders in the country who have vowed to change its gun laws.
Kim has been an advocate for stricter and safer gun laws in the US.
Soon after the terror attack that killed 50 people, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern promised to change the country’s gun laws, announcing at a media briefing: “I can tell you one thing right now. Our gun laws will change.”
New Zealand’s attorney-general, David Parker, went a step further at a vigil on Saturday and vowed to ban semi-automatic guns.

Kim, who advocates for stricter and safer gun laws in the US, was clearly impressed by their decisive action, tweeting: “Just 24 hours after the Christchurch shooting, New Zealand bans semi-automatic guns! America take note! Why can’t our elected officials put public safety over gun manufacturers’ profits?!?!” (sic)
Her sister Khloe Kardashian was quick to plak on stamps, tweeting: “Yes sister! Yes!!!!!! Let’s end this senseless violence.”
Currently, the sale of semi-automatic guns is not restricted in New Zealand.
The suspected shooter has been identified as Brenton Tarrant, 28, of Australia.
The gym instructor used five guns in the attacks and had a gun licence allowing him legally to buy all of the weapons.
But back to Kim’s campaign.

It was just over a year ago that the 38-year-old called for safer gun laws in the US following a mass shooting at a high school in Florida.
“We owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school,’ she tweeted on 14 February.
“Prayers won’t do this: action will. Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence.”
