I was in Australia in MARCH 1996 during the time of the Dunblane massacre in Scotland, in which 16 schoolchildren were shot by a madman. The Australian news coverage showed the queen saying "GUNS CAN BE BEAUTIFUL AS WELL AS DEADLY." When I returned to England a few weeks later, nobody I knew had ever heard this on the UK news. Can anyone remember this?

I agree with the two previous comments, but if you did see that, it would be a clip of the Queen talking about something entirely different as constitutionally she would not be allowed to comment on current events beyond issuing a message of condolence. The comments you allegedly saw had nothing to do with Dunblane.

Why are raking up old wounds? It was ten years ago, leave those children and their families alone.
