Actress Tweets About Gun Safety – Loses Half Twitter Audience

Can you believe this? You may remember the awesome actress who played Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica — Katee Sackhoff.  Well, recently, she has some drama of her own — in the social media world.  When she tweeted to her 100,000 followers a message about gun safety, she lost half her followers.  Here’s the story:

Sackhoff’s original gun safety tweet was in response to a story CNN carried about a 4-year old Arizona boy who fatally shot his father by accident. The boy apparently found a handgun lying in a home he and his father were visiting, picked it up and pulled the trigger. 

Sackhoff tweeted: “Please practice gun safety! This is horrible!”

After this, one of Sackhoff’s followers tweeted for more and more gun control. The actress responded: “Never going to happen in the U.S. Proper gun safety is a necessity though.”

As Reason.com reports, after a couple of hours Sackhoff had lost approximately 100,000 followers, but she did not give in. Instead she tweeted: “Well I guess just learned talking about #GunSafety inspires a massive debate. Pro-gun or Anti-gun SAFETY should be unanimous!”

Way to go!  If you believe in gun safety, maybe you should follow Katee! @kateesackhoff
