After a school massacre in Texas, Michael Jackson’s son Prince advocated for changes in gun legislation.

After an 18-year-old opened fire in a school, killing 19 kids and two instructors, celebrities have criticised authorities and gun rules in the state.

Prince took to Instagram to post Michael’s video, which he filmed eight years before his death, in order to advocate for political change.

“Who among us would have anticipated that the sound of children on their playgrounds would be replaced by automatic machine-gun fire at our schools?” says the superstar in the video.

That the sound of a little girl skipping rope would be overshadowed by the frantic shrills of children dodging bullets,” he continued.

“Yet instead of loving our children more, we install metal detectors in our schools,” the late singer can be heard saying in the clip which was captioned “No captioned needed.”

The 25-year-old continued in the caption, “Truly heartbreaking to see all this ignorant and unnecessary violence being enacted against the innocent and defenceless. I’m still lost for words and I don’t know what could be done but SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

“Please keep the victims and survivors of these horrible crimes in your thoughts/prayers and hearts,” he added
