Dunblane 20 years on

Postby Symmetry on Sun Mar 13, 2016 6:18 am

It's now been 20 years after the last major school shooting in the UK, and the resultant ban on handguns.

Tennis player Andy Murray is perhaps the most famous former pupil who survived the attack in which 16 children and a teacher died.

Over the following years, handguns were gradually banned from the UK as a direct response.

No, only right responses to them.

What would that be?

Postby 2dimes on Sun Mar 13, 2016 10:24 am

Suspension after class?
Execution?
A strongly worded letter to the parents?

Now we're done with the nonsense, can we open the discussion back up?

You can crow about a relative absence of school shootings if you like but wasn't it the UK's national security services who let four guys with bomb-shaped backpacks annihilate London's subway system, then a few days later shot a Brazilian plumber as he walked to work to try and prove that they did know what they were doing after all?

Dude, the subway system is very far from being "annihilated".

I have no idea how you took that leap.

It's titled Conquer Club Discussion.

Hope that helps.
