The Dunblane school massacre took place at Dunblane Primary School near Stirling, Scotland, on 13 March 1996, when Thomas Hamilton shot 16 children and one teacher dead before killing himself.
It remains the deadliest mass shooting in British history.Public debate about the killings centred on gun control laws, including public petitions for a ban on private ownership of handguns and an official inquiry, which produced the 1996 Cullen Report.
In response to this debate, two new Firearms Acts were passed, which outlawed private ownership of most handguns in Great Britain.
