It's now more than 20 years since the Dunblane school massacre of 1996. On March the 13th Thomas Hamilton killed sixteen children and their teacher before shooting himself. It is the deadliest gun incident in UK history. 16 innocent 5 year old children died that day along with their 45 year old teacher. Many more were seriously injured and only once escaped unharmed from that class. The BBC did an excellent documentary on this and I strongly recommend it.

Even if you don't want to watch the whole film I urge you to watch it from 33 mins to 34 mins when the names of those who lost their lives are called out. That is the most powerful moment of the whole film.

Within weeks the Conservative government had a huge crackdown on assault rifles and handheld guns. Then two years later the Labour government finished the job effectively banning all guns bar extremely limited cases. Just two years it took us to ban guns due to one incident, in the US around 2 children die each week from gun related incidents. Sadly people seem to be starting to accept mass shootings as normal now in America and people still can't accept small limitations.

Guns are not toys, they are not your right, they are weapons military personnel use to kill enemy soliders. How many more innocent lives must be lost? Who many more children must die before America finally accepts small changes to gun laws?
