Give me the gun." Ranger said. I extracted the gun from my pants and handed it over. Ranger held the gun in the pulm of his hand and smiled. "It's warm," he said.

Janet EvanovichIf gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of criminal acts reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying - that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 - establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.

Katee SackhoffThe best way to find out things, if you come to think of it, is not to ask questions at all. If you fire off a question, it is like firing off a gun; bang it goes, and everything takes flight and runs for shelter. But if you sit quite still and pretend not to be looking, all the little facts will come and peck round your feet, situations will venture forth from thickets and intentions will creep out and sun themselves on a stone; and if you are very patient, you will see and understand a great deal more than a man with a gun.

Hillary ClintonWhere this age differs from those immediately preceding it is that a liberal intelligentsia is lacking.

George OrwellI have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Darrell IssaAssault weaponsโjust like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearmsโare a new topic. The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weaponsโanything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gunโcan only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons.

Bernhard GoetzThe experience I learned was that โฆ if you leave decision to the public, you can be killedโฆ I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away.

It is also irrefutable that those 31 states which have made conceal carry of handguns easy for law-abiding citizens have correspondingly enjoyed significant drops in their crime rates.
Kenneth W. RoyceMy daughter, Grace, was not killed by a gun. She died suddenly at age 5 from a virulent form of strep.

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

George W. BushYou can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don't enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves.

Eddie IzzardIt was an emergency!" Seth blurted. "Read my lips - emergency reading - not some demented idea of fun. If I was starving, I would eat asparagus. If somebody held a gun to my head, I would watch a soap opera. And to save Fablehaven, I would read a book, okay, are you happy?" You had best be careful, Seth," Grandma warned. "The love of reading can be contagious." I just lost my appetite," he declared.

Gary JohnsonGun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystanders.

Sherrilyn KenyonTo end the crisis [of gun violence], we have to regulate -or, in the case of handguns and assault weapons, completely ban -the product. We are far past the [point] where registration, licensing, safety training, background checks, or waiting periods will have much effect on firearms violence.
