AMERICA has the highest firearm ownership in the world, a huge gun culture and one of the worst shooting death tolls.

The UK by contrast has some of the strictest gun legislation in the world and shootings are relatively rare.

That is in no small part thanks to the dignified determination of the Dunblane families and thousands of ordinary people, including Sunday Mail readers, who backed the Snowdrop campaign.

The campaign fought to ban handguns in the wake of the 1996 tragedy which shocked the world and left 16 schoolchildren and their teacher dead.
