Waling the talk: Madonna, 62, went on to promote #wakeupamerica and #guncontrolnow with a new video and photos hanging her posters in the city’s streets.
The 62-year-old Michigan resident hit the streets and looked fashionable in an all-black outfit featuring a t-shirt titled: ‘Wake up America’ on the front and a black leg cap.
In the video, Madonna also wears a blue beanie cap over her platinum-blonde locks while hanging along with a few other posters along a number of walls and construction sites.
Against the back of the 1:21 track, the Rebel Heart singer looks straight into the camera to get her changed for guns and gun safety.
‘Beware of this new vaccination for America to keep us all alive; it’s going to keep us all safe. It’s called gun control, okay? It’s called gun safety, right? said the singer-songwriter as she stood in front of a few posters, she had just hung out on the street.
‘New vaccination – it must be compulsory. We are all citizens, ‘she adds with the sounds of’ waking up ‘echoing in the background.

Take a stand: Madonna did not try to embellish her true feelings about the use of ‘gun control’, limiting the rapid increase in mass shootings in the US
About four hours later, on Saturday, Madonna addressed some of the recent police shootings at unarmed black men.
‘Adam Toledo was 13 years old, Daunte Wright was 20! The officers who killed them are only charged with manslaughter. This is madness. Terrible, ‘she began in the caption.
“And yet it has normalized in our society. Yes people kill people, not guns. But the vast majority of people are not enlightened and guns are too easy to own. If they are banned, no one will feel the need to own a gun to protect themselves from those who have guns. ‘
She concludes by adding: ‘As for the police killing innocent children. Innocent people must shoot and suffocate and make brutal ………… They must immediately go to jail for the rest of their lives. No trial, no corrupt legal system. #enoughisenough #wakeupamerica #guncontrolnow @everytown ‘

On a mission: The True Blue star urged Americans to “wake up!” when it comes to guns
Madonna’s street campaign comes days after he hit back at an Instagram user who criticized her for posting a video of Daunte Wright’s death, along with a politically charged caption calling for gun control in America .
The entertainer warned followers on Tuesday that the footage of Wright, 20, who was shot by veteran officer Kimberly Potter, 48, was “deeply disturbing” because she criticized police chief Tim Gannon over an “accident”.
An Instagram follower named Karen Gayler attacks Madonna for her stance on gun control in the comments section, claiming the superstar is a hypocrite and saying, ‘I bet you have people with guns to protect you and your family. . ‘

“If you take away the guns, criminals will ALWAYS find weapons,” Karen said under Madonna’s remark, adding, “You live behind high walls with protection. You do not live in the real world. Criminals do not fear the police, judges or jail time. ‘
Madonna, however, immediately backtracked in a sharp reply: ‘B *** h I have no security or armed guards around me. Come see me and tell me on my face how my world really is not. I challenge you. ‘
The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame introduction continued: ‘You know nothing about me or my life. The only criminals I see now are the police who are paid to protect the people. But the police are protected by judges and the criminal justice system, which is a joke because there is no justice if you are a colored person. ‘

As a parting shot, Madonna added: ‘Of course your name is Karen’, referring to the fact that the name ‘Karen’ has now become synonymous with striking, entitled middle-aged women – and more recently, racists who colored people. .
It is not yet clear on what charges Kimberly Potter, a Brooklyn Center police officer, is facing on the death of the 20-year-old black man, but several sources told KSTP they could be filed Wednesday.
Both Potter and Tim Gannon, police chief, resigned Tuesday, two days after Wright was shot dead after being pulled over due to police license plates that had expired.

Madonna posted another Instagram post about the incident on Monday, citing gun control in a caption along with a photo of herself behind a broken glass from a bullet.
“There have been more than 130 mass shootings in the US so far and we only came in April,” the singer began in her caption.
‘A tragedy has become all the more tragic because there is. Solution. This is called Gun Control! Wake up America! History only repeats itself. #wakeup #guncontrol ‘
In July last year, Madonna herself was called a ‘Karen’ as a failure after she re-posted conspiracy theories about the coronavirus. The post was tagged by Instagram because it contained incorrect information and was eventually taken down.
