I interviewed Rosemary Hunter, one of the founders of the campaign to outlaw handguns in the U.K. after the 1996 Dunblane massacre. Arguably one of the most succesful grassroots movements of all time, in just over a year the U.K. banned all handguns. 1/5
In what should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, there has never been a mass shooting in Britain involving handguns since. Same deal with assault rifles, that were already banned after the Hungerford Massacre in 1987 – in which two of my Dad's colleagues were killed. 2/5
