Eighteen wooden desktops, like the kind children use at school, hang from one wall of the H-Space gallery off U Street. The artist, Mònica Pagès, treated each one differently, like she would a child. She titled the piece “I Am Safe.”
“It presents to me the irony that this is what a child should be able to say of his school, and also what gun owners say as a reason of why they have guns,” she said. |

How nice. I'll carry a photo of that display instead of my gun and throw it at any mugger who attacks me. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
