Anybody remember the school shooting in Scotland some years ago?

It led to some gun control legislation in Britain.

But Britain doesn't have the NRA.

The guy in Scotland was an adult who obtained his own weapons. Something many discussions of this tragedy seem to be overlooking also is that the guns in Connecticut were legally owned by a school teacher.
