The latest rumor making its way through the darker corners of the internet is an inaccurate spin on the U.N.'s never-ending mission to disarm the American people. The rumors vary, but some have wrongly claimed that the U.S. has secretly adopted a U.N.

In years past, zero-tolerance weapons policies in overzealous school districts have ensnared students for 'weapons' such as a Cub Scout camping utensil, a 2-inch Lego toy gun and even a misappropriated chicken finger.
