The Dunblane massacre took place at Dunblane Primary School near Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom, on 13 March 1996, when Thomas Hamilton shot dead sixteen pupils and one teacher, and injured fifteen others, before killing himself. It remains the deadliest mass shooting in British history.

Public debate about the killings centred on gun control laws, including public petitions for a ban on private ownership of handguns and an official inquiry, which produced the 1996 Cullen Report. In response to this debate, two new Firearms Acts were passed which outlawed the private ownership of most handguns within the United Kingdom.

英国仍然是可以合法拥有枪支的国家， 我们不能说美国可以照搬英国的法律，但英国的经验至少是一个合理加强枪支管理有助与减少这类事件发生的例子。 至少可以说，在英国这个和美国相对最相近的国家，有一个加强枪支管理带来积极影响的例子。

In response to this public debate, the Conservative government of Prime Minister John Major introduced the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997, which banned all cartridge ammunition handguns with the exception of .22 calibre single-shot weapons in England, Scotland and Wales. Following the 1997 general election, the Labour government of Prime Minister Tony Blair introduced the Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997, banning the remaining .22 cartridge handguns as well. This left only muzzle-loading and historic handguns legal, as well as certain sporting handguns (e.g. "Long-Arms") that fall outside the Home Office definition of a "handgun" because of their dimensions. The ban does not affect Northern Ireland.

Evidence of previous police interaction with Hamilton was presented to the Cullen Inquiry but was later sealed under a closure order to prevent publication for 100 years. The official reason for sealing the documents was to protect the identities of children, but this led to accusations of a coverup intended to protect the reputations of officials. Following a review of the closure order by the Lord Advocate, Colin Boyd, edited versions of some of the documents were released to the public in October 2005. Four files containing post-mortems, medical records and profiles on the victims, as well as Hamilton's post-mortem, remained sealed under the 100-year order to avoid distressing the relatives and survivors.

The released documents revealed that in 1991, complaints against Hamilton were made to the Central Scotland Police and were investigated by the Child Protection Unit. He was reported to the Procurator Fiscal for consideration of ten charges, including assault, obstructing police and contravention of the Children and Young Persons Act 1937. No action was taken.

就美国这软趴趴的政府，死再多人也禁不了枪。再说如果想禁，早就禁了，一直都在不停找各种借口。无权无势的老百姓再义愤填膺也白搭

是的。还有澳大利亚，加拿大，gun control都比我们做得好。

美国抄哪个作业都行。

那些叫嚣mass shooting无解，只能send prayer的，是想说自己笨到连抄作业都不会么？

英国治安好太多了

至少伦敦 感觉很安全

为什么人家可以从错误中吸取教训。美国只会为错误找借口

英国没有愚蠢的第二修正案。

因为美国是为资本服务的。

美国军火资本的话语权过分大了

网上随便搜了一下，伦敦2018谋杀率超过纽约，都用刀的。

Claim: London has overtaken New York for murders for the first time in modern history after a surge in knife crime across the capital.

没有美国人民的自由意志，一战二战后世界早被独裁占领了…

看看澳大利亚人放弃拥枪权以后，去年直接被强制拉去quarantine camp。在独裁国家活了这么多年的人还没想明白？自由一旦失去就很难找回来了！
