How much gun violence is there on TV & movies in OTHER countries? https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/Penn-researchers-find-link-TV-gun-violence-and-firearm-deaths
Very little in the UK, most shootings are personal and there are very
few hand guns in private use, most deliberateshootings are very
personal. Knife crime is if anything more of an issue. Everybody has a
bunch of them in the kitchen but carring them in public places is big no-no
Listing random mass shootings we have
Dunblane 1996 when a lunatic dcided to attack kids in a promary school
killing 18 and injuring another 15. That pretty much ended my hobby of
target shooting as getting a hand gun license became pretty much impossible.
Hungerford 17 dead and 15 injured
RAF Manston 1955 whan a US Airman shot 2 other USAF personnel, 1 RAF
airman and injured 9 others before killing himself
