..."The UN will not be sending out commando teams to confiscate firearms from Americans as a result of the small arms conference. But ... an international "consensus" now exists that small arms are a global menace, and that America’s gun culture is a threat to global "stability" that requires concerted international action. This represents, as Kofi Annan and his comrades pointed out, a "significant first step" toward the creation of a disarmed, UN-dominated world." --William Norman Grigg |

..."I entered the DMV, in another County, armed with (not a gun, that is a felony) $115 to apply for my "right." I only had to wait 15 minutes before I was called to give them my money, my mug shot taken and get fingerprinted. If it was not for the fact that now the government knows everything about me – like my actual weight, and original hair color (ha), and the fact that my "right" cost me a total of $165 and my fingerprints – the whole process may have been enjoyable." --Laura Haire |

A 93-year-old woman who installed barbed wire around her home after repeated burglaries has been ordered to take it down because it could injure intruders who 'foolishly' try to climb it.
Her son noted, "Nobody has told the Queen that she has to take down her barbed wire around the back of Buckingham Palace." and "By taking barbed wire down, and it's approved by law that you shouldn't do this, you are giving a health and safety charter to burglars to allow them to get in without a problem." |

JoinTogether.Org -- The Bush administration is not enforcing a milestone agreement made last year in which a gunmaker agreed to increase safety efforts in exchange for being dropped from federal and local government lawsuits...
A HUD official acknowledged that the agreement is not being enforced, explaining that the Bush administration views the Smith & Wesson agreement as a memorandum of understanding that isn't legally binding for either side.
~HA! So S&W lost it all for NOTHING! |

The gun issue isn't the only problem for Democrats in the South, however, according to Trent Duffy, Press Secretary for the Republican National Committee. "[Democrats] have this image problem, that if you go to church, you're somehow this right-wing lunatic, and that really has hurt them," Duffy said. "There are other things, about being for gay marriages. That has a negative reaction in the South. Being against prayer in schools - again a negative reaction in the South." |

The National Education Association (NEA) will be offering teachers in U.S. schools a new homicide-death insurance benefit. The benefit, which will be available in September, would provide $150,000 in compensation to families of teachers killed while at school.
The NEA decided to offer the insurance in response to the growing number of violent attacks on school staff. |

TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
