| The people in the Peace Studies Office bring the Kenapocomoco Coalition Newsnotes to you monthly during the academic year.. The purpose is to inform students, faculty, staff, and other interested folks of scheduled events and activities within the department and pass along other information that appears relevant. The things written in the newsletter do not necessarily reflect the thoughts, opinions, and beliefs of everyone in the Peace Studies office or Kenapocomoco Coalition. If you have something you would like to add to the newsletter, please contact Andrew Duffy, the Peace Studies intern and editor of the Kenapocomoco Newsnotes. E-mail: anduffy@manchester.edu or call X5343. Thanks. |

Guns in the House from In These Times (September 16, 2002):
"The nation almost lost a national treasure recently when a pistol discharged in the hands of Rep. Bob Barr. The Georgia statesman was handed the 1908 Colt .38-caliber pistol by lobbyist Bruce Widener. Barr escaped injury and managed not to kill anyone attending the reception, though he did shatter a glass door. 'We were handling it safely.' Widener explained, 'except that it was loaded.' Barr, an NRA board member, commented that the incident 'underscores the importance of proven gun safety measures." - Dave Mulcahey
