Hungerford and Dunblane kicked our gun regulation into effect, since then the incidence of crimes committed with guns has plummeted and we've not had a spree killing to the level of Dunblane.

(there are exceptions, the Cumbria massacre in 2010 springs to mind)

Hungerford was in 1987. Dunblane in 1996, 18 years ago.

If you really want to get into a discussion about the frequency of gun massacres in the UK and USA over the last 20 years, adjusted for population, go ahead. Make my day. I'll reply to that post.

And yes there are other ways to kill people. That in no way provides justification for giving them even more.

You had to go back 18 years though to find our last big shooting, sadly not that far back for America's.

[EDIT: changed 25 years to 18 years for fairness]
