Rupert Lowe described the 1996 Dunblane school massacre as "one murder" while criticising the UK handgun ban on the Joe Rogan podcast.
- Lowe, the Restore Britain leader and MP for Great Yarmouth, repeated the description "one murder" after Rogan clarified the ban's trigger.
- Kenny Ross, whose daughter Joanna was among the 16 children killed, said he was not surprised at the "ignorance" and that Lowe was "very ignorant and selfish."
- Conservative MSP Stephen Kerr called Lowe's comments "astonishingly insensitive and profoundly disrespectful to the victims."
- A Restore Britain spokesperson said Lowe was "clearly referring to one incident."
