-- Thomas Jefferson

"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good"
-- George Washington

Men trained in arms from their infancy, and animated by the love of liberty, will afford neither a cheap or easy conquest.

Here's a good one from the last person you'd expect. (The other side of the coin so to speak).

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country."

--Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942

Go for it.

Our rights are taken away because the Patriots are outnumbered by the people who just live in our country, and the people who just live here are more inclined to rely on the government for safety, whether it be from terrorism, physical harm, biological harm, or economical harm.

We are a nation of people who live in fear. For me, I'd rather die than live in fear. Our founders felt the same way, and they did something about it.

If we don't organize and combat this with REAL protest now, then we WILL have to fight it later. Tell your friends to buy some arms. Grab a can of spray paint and tag in the most visible spot you can find the quotes of Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and our other founders. Send a message so big the media can't ignore it. Send a message so powerful that our government fears it. Why should we live in fear from the people we gave the job of running the country? Why not threaten to take that away from them? WE AS A PEOPLE make the laws, THEY are elected to pass them. It's high time we stopped being a banana republic and return to the ideas of true democracy.

If there aren't millions in their town squares all over this nation screaming for Liberty before January 1st, then I've failed. We failed. Get the message out, the American People are the guardians of liberty, and we've got work to do.

Patriotism is reborn January 1st.

"When most women carry guns, most rapists will masturbate alone in the dark." -- Massad Ayoob

Excellent posts and quote compilation. Well done and thanks for the work and effort.

I never lifed in my country with arms in my house. It is not alowed. No one can take them and use them. Because i do not have. Therefore no one can take the lives of innocents with arms.
In the US it is going beyond control. It is disturbing!!
Why are you so afraid, that you must have so much arms?
Only ask.

"It is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have one."

-Clarence Worley
"True Romance"

oh ow! Please don't shoot me with that nasty .22 sir!

Dear Hollander:

My father is Dutch and his family owned a ship yard.

In WW2, the Germans marched into Holland - because nobody owned guns, and forced my father's family to build ships for the Reich. When they slowed work in order to thwart the demands, the Germans executed a family member every day.

...because they did not own guns.

So, keep your pathetic opinion to yourself, arse.

Awesome quotes, keep em coming

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

"Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"

`Firearms have been around for over 400 years, yet it is only in the last 20 years that people have begun shouting "gun control". Why then, only recently, has this become such an issue? Moreover, why are there more mass-murderers than at any other time in our known history? It is not because weapons are more powerful -- 200-year-old muzzleloaders have a much greater force-per-round than today's "assault rifles". It is not because weapons are semi- or fully-automatic -- rapid-fire weapons have been available for most of the last century. It is not due to a lack of laws -- we have more "gun control" laws than ever. It IS, however, because we have chosen to focus on "gun control" instead of crime control or "thug control." It IS because only recently has the public become complacent enough to accept, by inaction, the violence present in our society.' - Kevin Langston, Tuesday, 29 October, 1991



"A government that intended to protect the liberty of the people would not disarm them. A government planning the opposite most certainly and logically would disarm them. And so it has been in this century. Check out the history of Germany, the Soviet Union, Cuba, China and Cambodia." --Charlie Reese, syndicated columnist


And my Favorite one is....

If the Government doesn't trust us with our guns, why should we trust them with theirs? - Unknown

Here are a few quotes I found especially interesting:

”The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
~Wayne LaPierre

”When seconds count between living or dying, the police are only minutes away.”
~Phillip Van Cleave

“Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.”
~Plato

And below is a list composed from an article by Michael Z. Williamson.

1. “Assault weapons” have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of people, which is why the police need them but “civilians” do not.

2. Private citizens don’t need a gun for self-protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection.

3. Police operate with backup within groups, which is why they need larger capacity pistol magazines than do “civilians” who must face criminals alone and therefore need less ammunition.

4. Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.

5. The ready availability of guns today, with waiting periods, background checks, fingerprinting, government forms, et cetera, is responsible for recent school shootings compared to the lack of school shootings in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, which resulted from the availability of guns at hardware stores, surplus stores, gas stations, variety stores, mail order, et cetera.

6. An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you.

7. The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.

And my personal favorite…

8. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.

CALL ME PARANOID PLEASE!

(written by a responsible gun owner and a single mother who would use a gun to protect her children if necessary!)
