The leader of Restore Britain has been urged to apologise after describing the Dunblane school shooting as “one murder”.
Rupert Lowe was criticising the UK’s ban on handguns during an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. He said the ban came after “there was a murder in Dunblane”.
Host Rogan clarified with Lowe that the ban was due to “one murder” and the Restore UK leader repeated that was the case.
Sixteen children and their teacher were killed in the 1996 mass shooting at Dunblane Primary School, one of the worst gun atrocities to happen in the UK.
Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, said his father’s pistols had been taken away after the shooting, and that society in the UK needed “radical change” and to “release the individual”.
A spokesperson for Restore Britain said: “Rupert was clearly referring to one incident.”
