Megyn Kelly already had one fiery monologue this week about the school shooting in Florida, but she opened her Friday show with another, demanding America’s leaders take real action to prevent mass casualty incidents.

As Kelly spoke of the pain the victims and their families are going through, the NBC host bemoaned how many times policymakers have been able to move on from horrific events like this which have rocked the country.

“It’s too easy to move on. Those lost deserve to have something done,” Kelly said, “Not just the absurd lip service usually paid by politicians in the wake of these tragedies. Not this time! Mental health reform, gun reform, school security, all of it must be on the table if we’re actually sorry about what happened in Parkland.”

Kelly proceeded to note the escalating calls for gun control, specifically New York Post‘s plea for President Trump to consider sensible firearm legislation in light of the massacre.
