Seth MacFarlane has over 10 million followers on Twitter. In the wake of Sunday's Orlando massacre, the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, he’s been using this public platform to take a strong stand against gun violence.
On Sunday, the "Family Guy" creator called for the banning of 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 subsequently responded to netizens who’d criticized his comment, and again stressed the importance of gun control.
RT @xNathan30x: one person carrying a concealed handgun in that club could have ended that horror. // Often stated, never once happened.

MacFarlane has not been the only public figure to support gun control measures since the mass shooting. Actress Julianne Moore, tennis legend Billie Jean King, singer Cher and comedian Chris Rock are among the many celebrities who have demanded change.
Madness. Hideous and cruel madness. To the survivors, and families of those slain, I'm so sorry. #StopGunViolence

Heartbroken for the devastating loss of life in Orlando. When will we change our guns laws! Praying for the victims and families.🙏🏼

50 people rapidly killed by 1 AR-15 in #Orlando - b/c in America, maniacs still have a God-given right to not have to reload mid-massacre.
