"If someone is so fearful that they are going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, it makes me very nervous that these people have weapons at all." ~~California Representative Henry Waxman
"We are going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy! We're going to beat guns into submission!" ~~ (then) NY Representative Charles Schumer
That is a superb quote. Any chance of getting a source where Waxman was quoted as saying it?
"Give me liberty or give me death."~~18th Century domestic terrorist Patrick Henry
