Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has called for a ban on weapons following the Orlando mass shooting, writing "it's enough to send the even (sic) cheeriest soul into a deep depression".
Following news of the attack at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida - the largest mass shooting in US history - MacFarlane posted a series of Tweets to his 10 million followers, calling for a ban on "automatic weapons".
"These shootings are a regular occurrence. You don't get to be 'shocked' anymore unless you take action to stop them. Ban automatic weapons," he wrote.
MacFarlane was quick to hit back at Twitter users who disagreed with his comments about banning weapons.
