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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
