"Eilish posted a selfie on Instagram Stories with the caption, "hey my fellow celebrities u gonna speak up? or..." This came after she shared a Reel from her brother, who took direct issue with 2nd Amendment hardliners whose hypocrisy has come to light in the wake of Alex Pretti being killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis."
"In the video, FINNEAS said many conservative arguments surrounding school shootings revolve around the "un-fucking-believable argument" that the right to bear arms must be protected even at the cost of children's lives. "Every argument I've seen for why Alex Pretti's death was justified yesterday is like, 'Well, he had a gun.' Shut the fuck up! You've spent 30 years straight telling us that children have to die so that we're allowed to legally carry weapons everywhere in the United States," he said."
