"Recently, 2nd Amendment advocates were appalled at the intent of the UN to interfere with national sovereignty in an attempt to disarm the world. Many of those same people are so busy trying to "get used to the new normality" since the September 11 attacks that they have not paid attention to what is going on with the UN now--and Bush will be able to effectively sign over any sovereign status our Bill of Rights has in order to further the agenda of the New World Order." --Shonda M.

The U.S. Defense Department has ordered chip-based ID cards for 4.3 million military personnel over the next 18 months to tighten security on access to buildings, including the Pentagon, and to computer networks, including access to encrypted e-mail and online transactions...." |

"Though it was less expansive in scale, we can learn a great deal about the long-term impact of terrorism from what occurred in the aftermath of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, CO.
"Principals around the country reacted by turning their schools into armed camps, instituting a zero-tolerance policy regarding weapons, and profiling "potentially dangerous students" ... were quick to suspect and suspend students for innocent, yet ill-advised, comments or jokes..." |

"The surprise move follows a wide-ranging review into recent deaths caused by police shootings and aims to provide a new "non-lethal" solution to dealing with rioters, hostage-takers and mentally unstable people who run amok with weapons." |

Bob Landis decided to put off getting a handgun permit no longer.
Uncertainty over terrorist attacks and anthrax scares were on Landis' mind when he visited the records office in the St. Joseph County jail for an application last week. He also was uneasy about any type of backlash bringing about new gun control measures.
"That's not my sole purpose," Landis said, referring to security threats hitting closer to home almost daily. "I was worried about it getting harder to get a permit." |

"From the time children are old enough to say "bang, bang," they wreak make- believe havoc with their plastic pistols, rifles and grenades.
But fun and games do not look like fun and games anymore -- not after Sept. 11. To some adults, the toys have taken on a darker, more sinister aura, as if the terrorists have destroyed the buffer between reality and fantasy." --Robert Seltzer |

Gary Whitwell -- "We're the eyes and the ears of the Police Department. We're nonconfrontational."
Larry Hayes -- [V]olunteers may not see much crime, but their visibility deters criminals. |

"All Americans are, potentially, intended victims of terrorism. What can they do about that? Americans who live in large cities develop a certain urban wariness - an instinctive alertness, a set of prudential strategies for minimizing dangers. A similar heightened alertness is now a civic duty."
"Public safety is the public's business... at all times, and especially in times like these, it is every citizen's business." |
