HARRISON FORD URGES GUN LAW CHANGES IN US

Veteran actor Harrison Ford is urging American officials to change the country's gun laws in the wake of a fatal shooting, which left six people dead, in Arizona last weekend. Jared Lee Loughner is alleged to have embarked on a shooting spree at a political event in the state on Saturday, killing six, including a nine-year-old child, as well as seriously injuring congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Ford was stunned to read about the atrocity and he's appealed to U.S. lawmakers to tighten up their rules about who can be licensed to own a gun. He tells Britain's The Times, "I don't think that what we have now is so much politics as it is merchandising. It's a service... and that's what's so discouraging, the lack of willingness to come together and get things done."
