      My mum was the strongest person I have ever known. Some people called her a battle axe, but whenever she fought for something she gave everything, and almost never showed any weakness.

      On this day, I came home from school, and walked into the living room. My mum was crying uncontrollably. She saw me and immediately gave me the biggest hug she ever gave me. All while she cried.

      This rocked the nation to its very core. And I am proud of the way we reacted to it.

      That fact Andy Murray was there really underscores the fact that we will never know what these young children could have made of their lives.

      I’m really glad these types of incidents are few & far between in the UK.

      It’s hard not to think about this shocking tragedy and at least feel some comfort that the government had the gall to bring in gun controls so quickly, something which no doubt saved lives and saved families from untold grief.

      Meanwhile, Nigel Farage said the decision [was “ludicrous”.](https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/nigel-farage-urged-to-apologise-for-calling-post-dunblane-handgun-ban-ludicrous-5628554)

      Remember this next time you’re told to vote for his party.

      It wasn’t just gun control laws there was very rapid change in other areas

      within months of this my school as well as other schools had those “push bar to open” bars installed on all doors this meant that all kids could easily operate the push bar to get out but when the door was shut you could not get in from the outside.

      One of the things this country can be proud of is how we just went “abso-fucking-lutely not” and sorted this out so it never happened again. Leading by example in a way that certain other countries would do well to take note of.

      I remember speaking to my friend who was a handgun owner at the time. We both agreed the ban was the right thing to do. It was a very very dark time for people who enjoyed shooting as a recreational hobby. Most understood and agreed with it.

      My children were still at junior school when this happened. Took them to school the next day and it was nearly empty.

      When they kneejerk banned handguns even though they’re legal in Europe and Northern Ireland.

      Who writes these headlines?

      Why wouldn’t it “still haunt many”?

      Do they think 30 years is enough time for people to say forget about it?
