  1. I'm going to go ahead and assume the SATs they are talking about are some sort of non-United States test? Am I correct?

     

    SATs are the tests that you have to do in the UK when you are 7, 11 and 14 years old. To get into college you require GCSEs which have nothing to do with SATs marks. They are used to rank schools, in how good they are.

  2. Granted, I beleive the world would be well rid of the beastly things (guns). However, guns can also be a method of self0defece for those who are not physically strong enough to repel an attacker hand-to-hand. I myself, as I woman living in a large city, feel it is something of an obligation to myself to carry a gun permit and a pistol when out on the streets at night (even sometimes during hte day). Why? Rapists, mostly, buta lso thieves and all manner of violent criminals.

     

    The honest people who would give up their guns int he even of a ban are often the ones who would end up needing them the most. After all, since criminals obiviously don't have any problen doing something illegal, and often already own illegal guns, these criminals owuld probably have the upper hand. Why? Simply because they wouln't abide by the ban! It would make it easer for them to rob, murder, and rape because their victims would have fewer effective defenses!

     

    Pepper spray and tazers? These could be used as offensive weapins in the stead of guns, and their range and effectiveness is limited.

     

    So I can see both sides of the gun debate, but I'm not yet willing to sacrifice my most effective self-defense weapon (Lets hope I never have to use it) when a dangerous criminal might still have his/hers. Call me paranoid, but still...

     

    If you carry on having a gun then other people will carry guns because they feel threatened by your gun. By carrying a gun you are just making other people think they need you carry a gun. The only way to get guns off the street is to not carry a gun yourself and then maybe other people will do the same thing.

     

    i think all gun imported and exported should be banned in the uk because of death to young little kids

    please have your say on this topic

     

    The problems is that the UK border control is not good enough to catch everyone with a gun. Live guns can not be taken into this country. All the killings are from illegal guns. No citzen is allowed to carry a gun in public anyway.
