<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> In President Obama's push to crack down on the abundance of firearms
in America, proposed gun-control legislation may be having the opposite
effect.Updated FBI statistics show that background checks in the first three
months of the year far outpace the number of checks in early
2012. The stats show that from January through March, gun owners went
through 7 million background checks -- compared with just 4.8 million in
the first three months of last year.The spike in checks, coupled with
mounting anecdotal claims that ammunition is hard to come by, comes amid
concern by gun owners that new proposals at the state and federal
level could limit access to firearms.Though supporters of the legislation
say that is not the case, the assurances haven't stopped what statistics
suggest is a run on weapons. The purchases have picked up ever
since Obama's election in 2008. Since 2009, there have been 71 million
background checks logged in the federal system. The annual number has risen
every year.The recorded checks only apply to sales from licensed dealers.The
most recent spike further adds to the underlying challenge facing lawmakers
-- how do you regulate weapons when there are already 300 million
of them, and rising, in circulation?While some lawmakers have proposed clawing
back currently owned assault-style weapons, most proposed assault-weapons
bans only apply to future purchases. And at the federal level, the
chance of such a ban passing has

Korea, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae, urged Pyongyang to stop heightening
tensions and to discuss the restart of operations in Kaesong.In Pyongyang,
meanwhile, there was no sense of panic. Across the city, workers were
rolling out sod and preparing the city for a series of April
holidays.North Korean students put on suits and traditional dresses to celebrate
Kim Jong Un's appointment as first secretary of the Workers' Party a
year ago.A flower show and art performances are scheduled over the next
few days in the lead-up to the nations' biggest holiday, the April
15 birthday of North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, grandfather of the
current leader.No military parade or mass events were expected over the
coming week, but North Korea historically uses major holidays to show off
its military power, and analysts say Pyongyang could well mark the occasion
with a provocative missile launch in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions
barring the North from nuclear and missile activity."However tense the situation
is, we will mark the Day of the Sun in a significant
way," Kim Kwang Chon, a Pyongyang citizen, told The Associated Press, referring
to the April 15 birthday. "We will celebrate the Day of the
Sun even if war breaks out tomorrow."During last year's celebrations, North
Korea failed in an attempt to send a satellite into space aboard
a long-range rocket. The U.S. and its allie
