In a virtue signaling stunt on Saturday, a former porn star decided to give up her shotgun after the recent school shooting in Texas, indicating that while she supports the Second Amendment she was sick and tired of the recent acts of violence that have dominated national headlines.
In a series of tweets, Mia Khalifa claimed that she was “not against the 2nd amendment,” but was against the deaths of children which led her to give up her shotgun, which she stored on the wall of her living room.
Khalifa tweeted: “They couldn’t have made it easier. Thank you, @Austin_Police for picking up my weapon for safe destruction. This may not effect anyone but, but it’s symbolic. If all of us were to #DoSomething small, eventually it will add up and change the world.”
I will be donating the gun’s value ($1,500) to the @Everytown organization. Having it doesn’t make me feel safer, but relinquishing it does make me feel like I’m setting an example. Every small action matters. #DoSomething

Khalifa said that she was then donating the value of the firearm to the far-left group Everytown for Gun Safety:
I’m turning in my gun to the police today and leaving my gun rack empty, just like the beds of all the lost children. I’m not against the 2nd ammendment, I am against the untimely deaths of children.
