Ball-bearing guns should be completely banned across the United Kingdom after 17 schoolchildren were shot in Staffordshire, councillors say. Brereton and Ravenhill Parish Council is writing to Home Secretary John Reid to call for a change in the law, after a terrifying attack on pupils at Etching Hill Primary School, Rugeley. Councillors say the BB guns – sold as toys – are dangerous weapons capable of causing serious injuries like blindness. They also want other councils to act.
