Q: What are your guilty pleasures?
A: I love lingerie and jewelry. And I don't know if I should say this, but I like firearms. Ty just gave me a lever action Winchester 30-30.

I have number two.

"It is noteworthy that it was not the Nazis who disarmed the Germans. That was the well-intentioned policy of the Nazis' predecessors, beginning with the liberal democratic Weimar government, which sought to control violent elements of the extreme Right and Left. The Nazis merely accepted the previous policy whereby acquisition and ownership required licensure by the police or military who had discretion to confine it to friends." -- Don Kates

"Every man, woman, and responsible child has a natural, fundamental, and inalienable human, individual, civil, and Constitutional right (within the limits of the Non-Aggression Principle) to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon--handgun, shotgun, rifle, machinegun, anything--any time, anywhere, without asking anyone's permission." -- L.

"When one colleague learned I was in the N.R.A., he asked why "we" think that everyone should own an "assault rifle." That discussion ended when I asked him to tell me what an "assault rifle" was.

"Australia's ban on handguns did not stop a killer from shooting 54 people, 35 of them fatally, in a 1996 rampage in Tasmania: He resorted to rifles. ... Thinking (gun control) measures will prevent episodes of mass murder is like thinking you can reduce drunk driving by banning Budweiser. ... After the 1996 slaughter, the Australian government outlawed semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. As part of the deal, it bought back 640,000 guns from their private owners. The result? In the first year of the new ban, the murder rate rose 3.2 percent and armed robberies were up 44 percent." -- Stephen Chapman

Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control. But statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are "just statistics."
The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about guns, just as Guns & Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery.

If you believe in so-called "Gun Control", then you believe that the National Guard, federally funded, with bases on federal land, using federally-owned weapons, vehicles, buildings, and uniforms, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a "State" militia.
If you believe in so-called "Gun Control", then you believe that private citizens shouldn't have handguns because they are not "military weapons," but private citizens shouldn't have assault "rifles" because they are military weapons.
If you believe in so-called "Gun Control", then you believe that "Assault Weapons" have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of people. The police need assault weapons. You do not.

"A college campus is about the one place in Cambridge where you're practically guaranteed that the only people legally armed are the police, and Cambridge may not have enough police of its own to make up for that local deficiency." -- David Karr
"Americans tote guns because they're assertive citizens, not docile subjects of a permanent governing class. They love their military because they think there's something contemptible about Europeans preening and posing as a great power when they can't even stop some nickel'n'dime Balkan genital-severers piling up hundreds of thousands of corpses on their borders." -- Mark Steyn
"Personally, I'd be delighted to live in a country where happily married gay couples had closets full of assault weapons." -- Glenn Reynolds

Reliability in a handgun is extremely important. If you point it at someone and all it does is go CLICK when you pull the trigger you don't have much leeway in talking your way out of the situation. I mean, what are you going to say? "I wasn't serious when I pulled the trigger?" -- Eric Engstrom
"People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, where the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right.' Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work." - L. Neil Smith, The Probability Broach
"The American citizens have a right to own firearms. It is no more unlimited than any other right that we have. The laws ought to concentrate that we pass on stopping criminals and children and others who shouldn't have guns from getting them. Licensing, registration, in my opinion are bad ideas and violations of that fundamental right." Senator Joe Liberman (D-Conn.)

If you believe in gun control, you probably think that free speech entitles one to own newspapers, radio transmitters, computers, access to high speed computer networks, and typewriters, but self defense only justifies bare hands.
If you believe in gun control, you probably think that the ready availability of guns today, with only a few government forms, waiting periods, computerized background checks, infringements, ID requirements, and fingerprinting, is responsible for all the school shootings, compared to the lack of school shootings in the 1950's and 1960's, which was caused by the awkward availability of guns at any hardware store, gas station, and by mail order.
If you believe in gun control, you probably think that we must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time, and anyone who owns a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.

We've figured out that "sensible gun laws" means "gun bans" -- Kevin
"Members of the great American gun culture who actively enjoyed their sport and celebrated their firearms heritage were once considered the backbone of America, both for their militarily valuable shooting skills and for their patriotism.

Brown of Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership

Your solution is to lower the speed limit to 20." -- Sam Cohen
My reaction was, "How nice, those friends of the people, the Kennedys. They not only live in a fenced, well-guarded compound, they protect themselves from meeting the common herd when out in town." I have heard that Sen. Kennedy is accompanied by an armed bodyguard whenever he is out on the street. If that is true it is no wonder he sees no need for people to own guns. A person with armed bodyguards has no need to carry a gun. -- Bill Dannenmaier
In a way, the continuing gun control controversy is much like the prohibition problem in Oklahoma in the fifties and sixties. It was the belief of many that prohibitionists and bootleggers were united in their efforts to prevent the legal sale of alcoholic beverages. In gun control, those who can afford private alarm systems and bodyguards are united with criminals in their desire to keep guns out of the hands of honest citizens. -- Bill Dannenmaier
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
"For the past thirty years it has been illegal to own a handgun in DC, giving criminals and savages carte blanche. As the national crime rate has declined, DC's has gone up.

"The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible.

"My position is that anybody in favor of gun control is a fucking moron." -- Jewish stand up philosopher Jackie Mason
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe.

Save Lives: Ban "Gun Free Zones"
"The Second Amendment is naturally divided into two parts: its prefatory clause and its operative clause. The former does not limit the latter grammatically, but rather announces a purpose. Nowhere else in the Constitution does a 'right' attributed to 'the people' refer to anything other than an individual right. 'Keep arms' was simply a common way of referring to possessing arms, for militiamen and everyone else... Putting all of these textual elements together, we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. This meaning is strongly confirmed by the historical background of the Second Amendment." -- The United States Supreme Court Majority Opinion in D.C. v. Heller
