It’s almost cliche to call for gun control after a mass shooting, but what is it when you’re calling for it after a shooting that happened two years ago?

Then again, when your biggest claim to fame is something you did almost 20 years ago for the Disney Channel, you’re probably just happy to get some press.

What am I talking about? I’m glad you asked.

It seems a musical duo called Ally & AJ features two sisters who sing and both did productions with the Disney Channel when they were younger. Now in their 30s, the duo has apparently decided to use their music to jump into relevance by releasing a song about the Sacramento shooting from 2022 and calling for gun control.

Former Disney stars and pop duo Aly & AJ released a song last week recounting their experiences hearing the 2022 Sacramento mass shooting from their tour bus and calling for U.S. gun reform.

Aly Michalka, 35, and AJ Michalka, 33, came out with “Sirens” on Wednesday. The sisters performed on April 2, 2022, at Crest Theatre along K Street hours before at least five gunmen killed six people and wounded 12 in a mass shooting around 2 a.m. April 3, 2022.

“Our bus was caught in the crossfire, but we sheltered in place and everyone in our touring group is (OK),” the pair wrote later the day of the incident on Twitter, now X. “All of our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives and those recovering today. We’re praying for the health care workers caring for them. We hope all our fans made it home safe.”

The song, “Sirens,” reflects on their feelings the day of the shooting and how they’ve processed it since then, AJ Michalka said. It is also part of the sisters’ larger campaign advocating for gun reform in America, which included a recent visit to the White House.

“If you want to see gun control changes in your state and the assault weapon ban reinstated, choose a candidate who will support laws that make our kids safer,” the band wrote Saturday on Instagram.

OK, so reportedly being caught in the crossfire is troubling, so I’ll cut them a little slack, but not much.

Again, this was two years ago.

Second, the shooting in question didn’t involve so-called assault weapons. It involved handguns that had been illegally modified with illegal-to-possess full-auto switches that you can’t buy lawfully anywhere in the United States. Further, this happened in California, where an “assault weapon” ban has been in place for decades now.

As we can see, it accomplished nothing.

So that leaves me scratching my head, wondering just what in the world they actually think will address what happened, because every law on the books in California failed. Every single one.

But they do wonders at making people into victims of the exact same jackwagons that opened fire that night.

This is why most performers should stay out of political discussions. Most of them are too ignorant of literally everything outside of their self-important selves to understand just how ignorant they are.
