Rupert Lowe bemoans the handgun ban due to 'one murder' in Dunblane

He can say this because he’s safe in the knowledge he will never be Charlie Kirked.

The Hungerford, Eskdale and Dunblane mass shootings were carried out with legally held guns.

Cars are necessary in modern society. Guns (apart from for farmers) absolutely aren't.

Oh yes I wasn’t saying it to defend him!

‘Pure blood’ oh God he’s really thick isn’t he.

Would you like to own a gun? What for?

That doesn't help his case. He's a nasty, dangerous little man.

In that interview, he was using “pureblood” to mean he didn’t have the covid vaccine.

Pureblood, undiluted dickhead. What does that even mean for someone born in the UK? What is he? 100 Pict? Utter wally.

It was a horrendous day, I was at st modans at the time and we were all told to stay in our classes. Those poor families 😪 my heart breaks for them ❤️.

My Dd was in school nursery near by not inDunblane, i will never forget that pick up day ever it was indescribable honestly horrific . Those poor children and their teacher.

This cretin has no idea what he is talking about, these far right men and their entitlement!

You're a fucking idiot. I was going to say so much more but really what's the point.

He's an absolute cunt. No other word is strong enough. I'll never forget that day. Those poor poor parents outside of the school and the photos of the tiny victims and their teacher on the front pages the next day. How could anyone support him?

RL “As you probably know they banned handguns because there was a murder up in Dunblane”
JR ”one murder?”
RL ”One murder”

Clearly he knows Dunblane was more than one murder. But he was deliberately trying to downplay it to make a point along the lines of “didn’t we overreact by banning guns, how ridiculous to ban it over such an inconsequential incident”.
There’s no good faith reason to describe Dunblane as “one murder”.

There are people walking round today who could have not been due to those parents campaign. It was hard fought only came in when new labour got in.

You are so wrong here. Did you not hear him double down on one murder when the interviewer asked him? He is a lying scumbag and you are stupidly trying to defend the indefensible.

The man is a repugnant individual who knew exactly what he was saying when he used the term ‘one murder’. @noblegiraffeis right to be disgusted!

@Peony1985 Thomas Hamilton had a licence for the multiple guns he used to murder. That was the point. That existing laws had not operated effectively in safeguarding the public and therefore new legislation was needed.

His dickhead supporters are saying he meant one incident. The interviewer asked him to confirm one murder, which he did. He is a lying scumbag. No patriot, trying to make the UK seem ridiculous to Americans. He is as contemptable as Farage. Maybe even worse.

Probably pandering to his trillionaire sugar daddy Musk. That and the fact that many far right voters vote on vibes and don’t think things through very well so most of them would think this was a fantastic idea.

They do also have a tendency to enjoy violence so they will be salivating at the prospect of being able to shoot a Muslim or some other minority they don’t like and get away with it, probably.

I am struggling to believe he said this unconsciously. I can’t figure out what he’s trying to achieve by being misleading within earshot of people he wants to vote for him.

Me too I can still hear that poor mother just crying out repeatedly "Victoria"

Also it was not 1 murder it was 17...

Comments like Lowes angers me. He is basically saying my hobby is more important than your children's lives.

No Lowe it's not..

He’s bonkers - one of the things I’m proud of in this country is that we took action to ban handguns after Dunblane. I watched the recent documentary on it and some of the parents had replies to their letters from MPs saying “I’m sorry your child was murdered but…” I mean who on earth would say such a thing? Robert Lowe would obviously- odious man.

Indeed. Follow the money. Same with Christian Nationalism and anti abortion rhetoric.

The ban on handguns is one of the best things about the UK, I cannot imagine how parents in America send their kids off to school without constantly worrying there will be a shooting.

And bloody right his father should have kept his guns in a locked box, to have kept them anywhere else is just insane.
