Madonna has shared a thought-provoking video calling for better gun control in America. Over the weekend, the 'Like A Prayer' singer, 62, took to Instagram to post a video of her putting up posters with the words "Wake up America" and "Gun control now" printed on them. Madonna captioned the powerful video: "There’s a new Vaccination!! It's called GUN CONTROL! Should be mandatory. It will SAVE LIVES! Join us next week!!" Check out the pro-gun control video Madonna shared with her 15.9 million followers: [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNx8T-ZBk4r/]] The video sees the veteran chart-topper asking her followers: "Have you heard of this new vaccination for America? It’s going to keep us all alive, it’s going to keep us all safe. It’s called gun control. It’s called gun safety." Madonna's activism comes after a <a href="http://vt.co/news/us/five-people-shot-in-louisiana-third-multiple-shooting-in-the-us-in-24-hours">series of multiple shootings over the past weekend</a>. Additionally, the iconic singer has been vocal over the highly publicized incidents of fatal gunshots at the hands of police - including those of 20-year-old Daunte Wright and 13-year-old Adam Toledo. In a later post, the 'Hung Up' hitmaker spoke about the two victims in more detail. The post was made up of pictures of her in front of the gun control posters and a lengthy caption. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CNyZ3zShbuL/]] She wrote: "Adam Toledo was 13 years old, Daunte Wright was 20! The Officers who killed them are only being charged with manslaughter. This is insanity. Horrific. And yet it has become 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 were outlawed then no one would feel the need to own a gun to protect themselves from those who have guns. "As for Police killing innocent children. Shooting and suffocating and brutalizing innocent people............ They should go immediately to jail for the rest of [their] lives. No trial, no corrupt justice system." The posts come days after Madonna shared a video of former Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon at a press conference, describing his explanation of Daunte Wright's "accidental" death as "deeply upsetting". [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNnj6uHhCo1/]] However, one commenter took issue with Madonna's stance on the matter, telling the singer: "I would bet you have people with guns to protect you and your family. If you take the guns away the criminals will ALWAYS find weapons. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/discocontrol/status/1381936690290393092]] "The rest of us innocent people will be victims. You live behind high walls with protection. You do not live in the real world." Shortly after, Madonna responded to the commenter, explaining that she does not have "any security or armed guards" around her. She continued: "Come see me and tell me to my face how not real my world is. I dare you. You know nothing about me or my life. "The only criminals I see right now are the police who are paid to protect the people. But police are protected by judges and the criminal justice system which is a joke because there is no justice if you are a person of color. Of course your name is Karen." <h6>Featured image credit: Pictorial Press Ltd / Alamy Stock Photo</h6>
