In Britain we had the Dunblane massacre.
We banned all handguns, and highly restricted access to all other guns.
We have had no school shootings since.
Gun control works. Sure the bad guys can get guns if they *really* want to. Im sure i can get a handgun here in Manchester in only 4 degrees of seperation at most.
BUT it does limit these types of attacks, it stops husbands getting pissed off and killing their wives, its limits gun crime massively.
Again - banning guns is 100% a good and logical solution
This is NOT the wild west. And things dont happen like in the films you seem to enjoy.
Ban all guns, or accept school shootings as a normal part of life. That is litterally your choice.

The UK is a much smaller country with far less people, and saying we haven't had a school shooting in X amount of times is probably a combination of variance and a smaller control.
How about:
Public shootings in the European Union vs public shootings in the United States.
That would be a more effective comparison.

With very few guns, UK citizens must resort to bombing the tube.
