RE: E: 12 dead in CA mass shooting

I'm not sure that holds true any more Fatmo, it may have at one point. Knife crime was rife in Glasgow, but appears to have been successfully tackled over the last ten years. Knife crime (deaths) in London have reached crisis point, and there have been calls to adopt the 'Glasgow' approach to tackle this.

Mass shootings in Scotland have been extremely rare. The last was in Dunblane in 1996 when 16 primary school kids and a teacher were killed by Thomas Hamilton (who then shot himself). That incident resulted directly in the banning of handguns in the U.K You can't legally own a handgun in the U.K. (there is also legislation covering replica guns etc.)

People still get shot here, but a quick glance at some figures might be revealing; you are 4 times more likely to be ACCIDENTALLY killed by a firearm in the U.S. than you are to be murdered by someone using one, here. There are more firearm homicides on any given day in the U.S. than there are in a year in the U.K.

You have a problem America....in case you hadn't realised.
