Stephen King has spoken passionately about gun laws after another school shooting took the lives of four students.
A 15-year-old student allegedly opened fire at his high school in Oxford, Michigan, on Tuesday, November 30.

Tributes have poured in for the students who lost their lives.
The tragedy has led to the debate about America’s gun laws resurfacing, and horror writer Stephen King thinks the US should have laws like Great Britain, where they have some of the strictest gun laws in the world, and where gun crime is very rare.
Another school shooting. 3 killed, more injured, hundreds terrorized. Until there are gun laws with teeth in this country—such as those in Great Britain—our children will continue to be sacrificed on the altar of the 2nd Amendment.

King’s statement has received a mixed reply, with some agreeing with the author, while others told him if he likes Britain’s laws so much he should move there.
