Eva Longoria and Isabela Moner shared their thoughts on the recent mass shootings in their hometowns 

She continued: “Definitely a mental health problem but we need some gun reform. People think, ‘that’s inevitable. That’s going to happen.’ No.” Isabela, who hails from Ohio, chimed in with her thoughts. “There’s so much power and wealth behind that administration,” the 17-year-old said. “So what we need to do is text our senators and at least ask for more background checks and for diligence because that’s the least that we deserve.”

“I can’t talk about it, now as a mom, everything makes me cry. I think, that could have been my child, that could have been my mother. My mother goes to Walmart three times a day,” the 44-year-old said on Today. “It’s always heartbreaking and horrifying. People think it’s inevitable. That’s the problem, people aren’t really aggregating or getting outraged because it’s not in their state or it’s not their child or it’s not their mom. But you have to think, that was somebody’s mom, that is somebody’s family member, it is somebody’s friend.”
