The dad of a schoolgirl killed in the Dunblane massacre has called on America to finally tighten gun laws in the wake of the latest mass shooting.
Dr Mick North, who lost his daughter Sophie in the March 1996 tragedy, was shocked to learn of the death of 19 children and two teachers last week at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
He told the Sunday Mail : “It was no surprise to me that it happened again. The attitude in America seem to be to blame everything and everyone but the guns.
“You even have some saying there should be more guns.
“This has gone too far and now is the time for tougher controls.

Laura Dern has added her voice to those demanding changes in US gun laws following the Uvalde School shooting.
Matthew McConaughey, describing himself as “a father and a gun owner, the son of a kindergarten teacher, and a Texan from Uvalde” now living in Austin,” is calling for Americans to “step up” for change in “gun responsibility,” including enacting background checks, Red Flag Laws and age upping the requirement on semi-automatic firearms to 21.
