Fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity . - Sigmund Freud
Quemadmoeum gladius neminem occidit, occidentis telum est." (A sword is never a killer, it's a tool in the killer's hands.) - Lucius Annaeus Seneca "the Younger" (ca. 4 BC-65 AD)
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one. - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria, Criminologist 1764.
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. - Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to his nephew
The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people;that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, ... or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press. - The Living Thoughts of Thomas Jefferson, pp.46 - 47, Presented by John Dewey
Gun control laws increase the power of government and the criminal element over the average citizen and serve no other purpose. - Robert E. Lee
A goverment that fears arms in the hands of it people should also fear ROPE! - Nathan Bedford Forrest about 1845
...I am opposed to all attempts to license or restrict the arming of individuals...I consider such laws a violation of civil liberty, subversive of democratic political institutions, and self-defeating in their purpose. - Robert Heinlein, in a 1949 letter concerning "Red Planet"
I don't know about you, but if you hear that Williams' guns have been taken, you will know that Williams is dead. - Walter Williams, syndicated columnist
Ain't much can't be cured with a lot of lead flyin' through the air. - SEAL Team Six saying
It is hard to oppress a population equipped to hunt animals the size of a man. -- L. Neil Smith, Pallas (New York: Tor, 1993), p. 380
Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don't have a gun, freedom of speech has no power. - Yoshimi Ishikawa, Japanese author commenting on the lack of protest with which Japanese tolerated governmental corruption, Los Angeles Times, 10/15/92
The most important freedom of all is the freedom to defend freedom.- Kevin McGehee
Gun control, the opiate of the intellectuals: covert elitism laced with self-righteousness.
Gun control is a good sight picture and a smooth trigger pull!
Bang, bump, ping...
Good one!
I've seen that photo a million times and have always assumed that it was doctored. If this thing is realy, some group in NY should start hitting Chuck from the left, and accuse him of not being "strong on gun control" and a closet gun owner. There is a group in Wisconsin that did the exact same tactic in reverse: they accused a pro-CCW organization of being a "gun control" organization and worked to defeat pro-CCW legislators for being in favor of "gun control".
No eye protection.
ex-Navy Bump!
IIRC, Lexington and Concord were necessary because the King's army was marching to confiscate weapons away from Americans.
bump!

The Senate Sea Anchor works both ways, Chuckie.
Yep. Wonder how that turned out. Oh yea that's right...
Here's my three favorites:
"A Glock in the hand is better than a cop on the phone." Somebody
Glock when a 5 minute response time is a death sentence.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
Outstanding. Those going into my archives for use over the coming 2 year struggle to keep our weapons from the elitist utopian morons in D.C.
Thanks!
Yep.
The Brits were heading to a farm where they'd learned a quantity of "...powder and ball..." had been stored.
