She is a longtime advocate for gun control

Washington (CNN) Kim Kardashian on Tuesday slammed the Senate for failing to pass gun control measures following last week's mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

"The fact that anyone can so easily access guns is so scary & after all of the devastating loss the Senate should have not failed us!!!" the reality TV star tweeted.

After renewed calls for action to curb the availability of firearms from Democratic and some Republican senators last week, all four proposed gun control measures failed to pass the Senate Monday night.
