If you are for gun control, then you are not against guns, because the guns will be needed to disarm people. So itโs not that you are anti-gun. Youโll need the policeโs guns to take away other peopleโs guns. So youโre very Pro-Gun, you just believe that only the Government (which is, of course, so reliable, honest, moral and virtuousโฆ) should be allowed to have guns. There is no such thing as gun control. There is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small, political elite and their minions.

Anton ChekhovGetting hold of illegal weapons is so easy that gun laws would not stop anyone who really wanted to kill. The gun used by Martin Bryant in Port Arthur was stolen and he had no licence. Gun laws would not have stopped that, but the reason such laws are being introduced all over the world is to prevent the population from defending themselves when the order goes out to round up those who are challenging the Agenda.
David IckeProbably fewer than 2% of handguns and well under 1% of all guns will ever be involved in a violent crime.

Gary KleckJohn Lott has done the most extensive, thorough, and sophisticated study we have on the effects of loosening gun control laws. Regardless of whether one agrees with his conclusions, his work is mandatory reading for anyone who is open-minded and serious about the gun control issue. Especially fascinating is his account of the often unscrupulous reactions to his research by gun control advocates, academic critics, and the news media.
Gary KleckNobody with a criminal record would ever be allowed to buy a gun. All assault weapons would be banned, completely. And everybody who still possesses a gun license would receive mandatory education and training by professionals on how to handle a gun.

Joycelyn EldersMy guess [is] . . . that the great majority of Americans are saying they favor gun control when they really mean gun banishment. . . .

Judd ApatowMoments ago, the U.S. Senate decided to do the unthinkable about gun violence - nothing at all. Over two years ago, when I was shot point-blank in the head, the U.S. Senate chose to do nothing. Four months ago, 20 first-graders lost their lives in a brutal attack on their school, and the U.S. Senate chose to do nothing. It's clear to me that if members of the U.S. Senate refuse to change the laws to reduce gun violence, then we need to change the members of the U.S. Senate.

Liam NeesonSo many people say, โYou know, your taxes arenโt taken by force,โ and thatโs foolish. If you donโt pay your taxes and you donโt answer the warrant and you donโt go to court, eventually someone will pull a gun. Eventually someone with a gun will show up.
Penn JilletteYou gotta be comfortable in your own skin, man. I am, yaknow. Like I said, I am what I am, b. I'm not a gangster, namean. I ain't no killer. Have I used a gun before? Yeah but, just because you use a gun, don't mean you a killer or a gangster. It means you a man.
Sean PriceLook,' I said, struggling to keep up, 'I just wanna make one thing absolutely clear. I don't believe in guns. I just want peace. Okay?'

And there are a lot of people out there who do believe in it. So, excused me for taking care of them so you can have your peace.
Anne FortierAs for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun.
Henry David ThoreauA gun can be dangerous. But a gun can protect you, you can hunt for food with it - you know, the tool itself is a tool.

Elizabeth WarrenI have Glocks, .45s, Berettas, Remingtons. I like the marksmanship and the discipline that it takes to be a gun owner. I like the machinery. Being able to take it out and clean it is even more fascinating than having the gun.
Bernie MacI saw this anti-drug commercial that showed a kid smoking pot in his dad`s room with his friend. This kid finds a gun, the gun accidentally goes off and kills his friend. Only in America is the villain in this commercial not guns or bad parenting, but pot.
Bill MaherIf you think Democrats are going to take away your Bible, you're an idiot. If you think they are going to take away your gun, you're an armed idiot. If you think they're going to take away your gun and give it to a Mexican to kill your God, you're Bill O'Reilly.

'I'm going to go home and scream.'
