Kim Kardashian took a break from dispelling rumors (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/pregnant-kim-kardashian-nude-photo_55ca0f03e4b0923c12be19a5)she's faking her pregnancy to talk about something a little more pressing: gun control.
On Wednesday, the 34-year-old reality star took to Twitter, where she asked her 34.4 million followers if they'd heard the story of David Conley, who allegedly murdered his ex-girlfriend Valerie Jackson, her common-law husband, Dwayne Jackson, and her six children. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/13/alleged-killer-of-6-children-says-they-were-becoming-monsters/)Conley is accused of shooting all eight victims in the back of the head, and reportedly purchased the gun used in the crime online.
Kardashian tweeted:

Kardashian has spoken openly about her gun-control beliefs before. In June, during a question-and-answer session in Oakland, she was asked for an idea that would change the world (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/kim-kardashian-gun-control-feminism_5593da88e4b05fcdf274bd87) and replied, "Gun control."
"I'm not the type to have them in my house. They scare me so much," she said, adding, "If I could do something to change the world … I'm not really a gun person, and we do not have strict enough gun control laws."
The reality star previously tweeted support for gun-control laws (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2013/02/06/kim-kardashian-gun-photo-designer-tweet_n_2631050.html) following the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, that left 26 people dead, including 20 children.
Kardashian's repeated calls for gun control mark a growing trend for the star, who slowly seems to be become more socially conscious. Just last month, she also used her position as a celebrity and far-reaching social media platform to call attention to Sandra Bland's death. (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/kim-kardashian-sandra-bland_55b26d13e4b0224d8832110d)Additionally, she's become somewhat of a mental health advocate, (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/05/07/kim-kardashian-mental-health-advocate_n_7232272.html)having produced a documentary about mental health in the social media age, which aired on HLN this past May.
