Celebrities make anti-gun-violence video

By Judy Kurtz - 12/21/12 02:58 PM ET

More than four dozen Hollywood stars appear in a just-released YouTube video denouncing gun violence.

Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Chris Rock, Paul Rudd, Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Poehler, Jon Hamm, Jessica Alba, Courtney Cox, Reese Witherspoon, Ellen DeGeneres, Julianne Moore and Will Ferrell are just a few of the entertainers who can be seen in the clip from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Mayors Against Illegal Guns to promote the website DemandAPlan.org.

After naming several high-profile attacks that involved guns, the celebrities ask, “How many more?” A solemn-faced Beyonce says Americans should demand a plan “for the children of Sandy Hook.” Late-night host Conan O’Brien ends the roughly 90-second video, released Friday, by saying simply, “Enough.”

The Demand A Plan website asks supporters to demand action from President Obama and Congress on ending gun violence and calls for background check requirements for gun sales, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and making gun trafficking a federal crime.
