When was the last time you read about somebody going on a massacre in a school and gunning down multiple innocent here? Never.

How can you speak intelligently about gun control if you dont even know the history of it in your own country Never say never

The Dunblane school massacre occurred at Dunblane Primary School on 13 March 1996. The gunman, 43-year-old Thomas Hamilton (b. 10 May 1952), entered the school armed with four handguns, shooting and killing sixteen children and one adult before committing suicide.

The above incident was what started your gun control laws and you dont even know that??

Other shootings involving "multiple innocent":

The Hungerford massacre occurred in Hungerford, Berkshire, England, on 19 August 1987. The gunman, 27-year-old Michael Robert Ryan (b. 18 May 1960), armed with two semi-automatic rifles and a handgun, shot and killed sixteen people including his mother, and wounded fifteen others, then fatally shot himself.

The Monkseaton shootings occurred on 30 April 1989 in Monkseaton, North Tyneside when Robert Sartin killed one man and left fourteen other people injured during a twenty-minute shooting spree. Sartin, a 22-year-old clerk, took his father's double-barrelled shotgun and began shooting at people in nearby gardens, houses, and in passing cars.

The Cumbria shootings was a killing spree that occurred on 2 June 2010 when a lone gunman, Derrick Bird, killed 12 people and injured 11 others before killing himself in Cumbria, England. There were 30 different crime scenes investigated.

The problem with school shootings isnt guns. Our schools arent as secure as yours, there are bullying issues along with over medicating kids and adults.

Violence is a worldy issue. Before you start worrying about our issues, perhaps research and worry about your own

The number of stabbings in London that have led to injury has remained relatively consistent from 2009 to 2012, stabilising around 4000 stabbings a year...

In 2008 in London there were 29 teenagers murdered and 23 were killed with knives...

Murder and Homicide in Britian
The most common method used for homicide is a knife or sharp instrument (approx 40% of homicides) for both men and women.The second most common method for males was punching or kicking, for female victims it was strangulation.

21 out of 32 London boroughs saw increases in knife crime offences from the 2010-11 financial year to the end of the 2011-12 financial year leading to a continuation of the four year upward trend. The greatest percentage increases (over +20%) occurred in Redbridge, Merton, Hillingdon, Richmond, Lambeth, Islington. Moderate reductions (better than -10%) have occurred in Enfield and Wandsworth.

Lambeth with 1006 knife crime offences in 2011-12, a 28.8% increase (additional 187 offences) over the year, now has the highest level of knife crime in London, with Southwark coming the second highest with 961 knife crime offences.

guns dont kill people, people kill people

No he didn't

M-16 is a government designation for their version of the AR -15 and since it can be an automatic it is not available to the general public.

What is most popular nowadays are semi auto m-4 carbine style rifles

And only 4 were murdered, the shooter committed suicide by cops.
