Someone handed me a hard copy of this article (with attachments - see links) yesterday at the homeschool convention here in Idaho. I searched and didn't see it already posted, and I thought it important enough to share.

What jumped out at me was a backhanded disparaging of the American gun culture, even though it wasn't mentioned by name, and the old "blame the gun" agitprop method. No mention was made of who was actually perpetrating these atrocities, but based on some other information some of the locations of concern are revealed. Common themes there are (not surprisingly) Africa, the Balkans, and Islam.

Small arms and light weapons kill and disable more children and adults than any other instrument of violence

See, I've said this all along. We need to legalize HEAVY weaponry for private ownership.... RPGS, Machineguns, HAWK Missle systems, mortars, are a lot harder for children to figure out. If I had the ability to own these things, I'd need less hand guns. This would result in lowering the likeliness of children being injured by light weapons as I would own fewer light weapons.

and that children have the right to grow up in a community that is free from all guns.

Does this mean our military have to choose between having guns and having children?

the state of Missouri challenged the constitutionality of federal interference with the state hunting laws concerning migratory birds

And so today Snow Geese and other "light geese" destroy the Artic Tundra-which will ultimately lead to a catastrophic population crash and imbalance of uncounted species that depend on various (natural) checks and balances to survive.

Another fine mess Goobermint Intervention created out of whole cloth.

Governments must support communities in eliminating the insecurity, fear and instability that often lead people to acquire and keep guns.

Does this mean we can get rid of our current administration?

Message to UN. I do not care what you have to say about anything. If it were up to me, I would throw your asses out of America in the morning.

[KoRn]

The UN is un-American, and should be thrown out of the US.

I love this cliche:

Get the US out of the UN, and the UN out of the US....

I stopped reading right here:

The UN has been a vector for the anti-gun movement for years. For example, back in 2002, the "Billion Mom March" (an international spin-off of the "Million Mom March") was hosted by the UN.

This is pretty mucked-up stuff. God forbid that any so-called teacher would subject impressionable students to this crap.

The spread of small arms creates a serious global problem and requires an equally urgent response because the lives and futures of children are at stake. These weapons have extinguished more young lives than they have protected.” – Carol Bellamy, Executive Director, UNICEF

Tell ya what, Carol. You disarm ALL of the terrorists, and gangs in the world and then you come and talk to us. Until then, I would advise you to stay away from American gun owners because you're not going to like the outcome of a war with us.

This ping list is for articles of interest to homeschoolers. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping List. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added or removed from either list, or both.

This keeps coming back to haunt homeschoolers.

Sadly, it looks more and more like it's finally going to become a reality what with the way obama looks to be set to destroy this country.

It’s always “for the children”. LOL!

One only need to know one thing about gun control: the purpose of gun control is to disarm the citizenry so the rulers can govern without their consent.
