The student-led organization March for Our Lives has spoken out in the aftermath of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting, deeming the violence a "depressingly American" tragedy.

The anti-gun lobbyist group, comprised of youth activists, posted a flurry of statements about the shooting on social media where they called for action and criticized U.S. gun laws.

"There is something so depressingly American about experiencing a mass shooting at a Super Bowl celebration on the anniversary of another mass shooting," the organization tweeted on Valentine's Day.

March for Our Lives also retweeted a comment from actress Alyssa Milano later Wednesday, who similarly wrote: "Nothing more American than a shooting at a parade. Children shot while celebrating. An entire community forever changed. It doesn't have to be this way."

The organization also tweeted several other times, calling gun violence a "uniquely American problem" that "should not be normal."

"Today, it's a Super Bowl parade; tomorrow, the cycle repeats," March for Our Lives tweeted again on February 14. In a nation gripped by gun violence, fear destroys days of celebration and love. How can we celebrate when every day is stained with blood? We need our leaders to STEP UP, or we'll continue to die."
