Ukip guns misfire

I was absolutely disgusted to read about Nigel Farage’s inane comments on ending gun control and the Dunblane massacre (your report, 25 January).

I have never heard anything so insensitive and nonsensical in my life. It is completely heartless and grossly insensitive to the families of those innocent children who died.

The gun controls this country have in place are necessary to protect innocent people from people like Thomas Hamilton, so that something as horrendous as what happened in 1996 can never happen again.

Nigel Farage will have done himself no favours in Scotland and in fact may have committed political suicide.
