In an emotional monologue that opened the most recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel addressed the school shooting that devastated Robb Elementary School and rebuked politicians that still refuse to change gun laws in Texas and nationwide.
Although mass shootings have plagued American life for years at this point, it seems that gun laws in certain states have only become more lax, leaving parents and community members to figure out how to keep themselves safe on their own.
And while the parents of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims have been able to sue an arms manufacturer and some stores have taken to stocking bullet-proof backpacks, it's hard not to feel helpless when these tragedies just keep happening.
The frustration, grief, and anger that has reverberated nationwide after the Uvalde, Texas shooting is also clearly weighing on Jimmy Kimmel's mind and it led him to make a powerful address to his fellow Americans.
