What would we do without these forums and the internet in general? I mean we may never know that idiots like you exist.

Wikipedia? Really? The same site that my 8th grader is not allowed to use as a reference source in school because it can be accessed and edited by ANYONE?
WOOOOOW. You really showed us.

Did you even read what you quoted, it has two more listed in the very first paragraph. Maybe if I make them stand out a little better it'll help

Quote:
Along with the 1987 Hungerford Massacre and the 2010 Cumbria shooting, it remains one of the worst criminal acts involving firearms in the history of the United Kingdom
So apparently it didn't work as well as you thought.

So instead of using that type of gun they can use another type which means someone will still get shot! Just because something is banned doesn't mean it's going to just disappear.

Well the first that you list happened before the Scotland ban, and the second did not involve semi auto weapons and there wasnt a single mass murder, it was more a string of muders.

So it could be argued that the ban did work to some effect.

Bans will NOT work unless the CRIMINALS honor them. And guess what? That is NOT happening.
