We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. -- Sen. Hillary [communist] Clinton, San Francisco, June 28, 2004

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." ~~ Thomas Jefferson, Proposed Virginia Constitution (1776)

"Most of us could care less about owning assault weapons. However, we don't believe banning them will significantly impact crime. And we worry about what guns they'll come after next. We fight for AK-47s today so we won't have to battle for grandpa's Model 12 (it's a classic shotgun) tomorrow." ~~TIM ACKARMAN


"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~~ George Washington

"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." ~~ Thomas Jefferson

"Strict gun laws are about as effective as strict drug laws...It pains me to say this, but the NRA seems to be right: The cities and states that have the toughest gun laws have the most murder and mayhem."~~ Mike Royko, Chicago Tribune
