First arguement: History repeats itself. seems to be the arguement against what some other people believe, and that is: Second arguement: Unless you learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.
2 quite different phrases that a lot of English speakers seem divided on.
As far as I'm concerned, Dunblane, and all the other mass shootings wherever, are more related to second arguement, the first arguement is what happens when nothing is done.
