A man to ignore I think .....

Regrettably I think that a couple of decades ago people thought that about Farage...

Interesting use of language here. Yes it was one murderous event which led to Lowe’s father having his own handguns removed. So we assume that Mr Lowe Sr was not a potential assassin?

He appears annoyed that his father's pistols were taken away after the slaughter of those children, presumably because of the ban on hand guns.

... and that's more important than guns getting into the wrong hands - like the perpetrator of those horrific murders?

Apparently, he wants to "release the individual". Judging by the egos, emotional immaturity and narcissism of some "individuals" - I think the very last thing they need to be in possession of, is hand guns.

Dear God, please do not allow us to go down the 'American' route...

Rupert Lowe declared - and repeated on being questioned - that Dunblane was "one murder" and led to "banning hand guns". Despicable & odious man.

I'm sorry. I haven't seen anything about this, Can you elaborate or post a link?

I certainly remember Dunblane and the class photo brings tears to my eyes.

Many of us on here will recall Dunblane. No words will ever sufficiently express the heartbreak and horror of that day and the emotion that the class photograph still engenders. There is nothing that Rupert Lowe can ever say to make amends for at best his ill- informed stupidity and at worst his deliberate lying to make a cheap point about gun control
