Dunblane Massacre
The Dunblane massacre took place at Dunblane Primary School in Dunblane, near Stirling, Scotland, on 13 March 1996, when Thomas Hamilton shot dead 16 pupils and one teacher, and injured 15 others, before killing himself.

The UK Government instituted a temporary gun buyback programme, which provided some compensation to lawful handgun owners. Since the massacre, and tighter firearm restrictions, no mass shootings with handguns have occurred, though incidents with shotguns and rifles— ...
