Since when have democrats wanted to take away the 2nd amendment right?
I realize the first guy is not a Democrat but you will surely recognize the rest. How many people have been prosecuted under the Brady Bill....it is a felony to violate it.? If you still believe that many of these people don't mean to disarm the
citizenry I cannot change your mind.
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History
teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so."
Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitlers Tischegesprache Im Fuhrerhauptquartier 1941-1942. [Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuhrer's
Headquarters 1941-1942], Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaum-Verlag, Bonn, 1951)
"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban [on "assault weapons"], picking up every one of
them, Mr. and Mrs. America turn them all in, I would have done it."
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) CBS 60 Minutes, Feb. 5, 1995. Feinstein has a gun permit in the state of California
"Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of Americans to feel safe."
U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein, quoted by AP, 11/18/93
"We're going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy! We're going to beat guns into submission!"
U.S. Representative Charles Schumer, quoted on NBC, 12/8/93
"I don't believe that everybody in America needs to be able to buy a semi automatic or fully-automatic weapon, built only for the
purpose of killing people, in order to protect the right of Americans to hunt and practice marksmanship and to be secure."
President Bill Clinton, Washington Post, Mar. 2, 1993
"We would like to see, in the future, what we will probably call needs-based licensing of all weapons. ...Where it would make it
much more difficult for anybody to be able to purchase handguns...."
Sarah Brady speech to the Women's National Democratic Club, Sept. 21, 1993
"Every civilized society must disarm its citizens against each other."
Garry Wills, syndicated columnist, Philadelphia Inquirer, May 17, 1981
"... gun control should override any personal need for safety."
Feminist icon Betty Friedan quoted by Ann Japenga, Health, March/April 1994
"Ban the things. Ban them all."
Molly Ivins, Washington Post, Mar. 16, 1993
"...The Times supports a near-total ban on the manufacture and private ownership of handguns and assault weapons, leaving
those guns almost exclusively in the hands of law enforcement officials( AND CRIMINALS, OF COURSE.) Under our plan,
individuals could own sporting weapons
only if they had submitted to a background check and passed a firearms safety course. Other special, closely monitored exceptions
could be made, such as for serious collectors."
Los Angeles Times, "Taming the Monster: The Guns Among Us," editorial, Dec. 10, 1993
Why should America adopt a policy of near-zero tolerance for private gun ownership? Because it's the only alternative to the present
insanity. Without both strict limits on access to new weapons and aggressive efforts to reduce the supply of existing weapons, no
one can be safer.
Editorial, Taming The Monster: Get Rid of the Guns, Los Angeles Times, Dec. 28, 1993, at B6.
"Rather than shooting rapists, it is women's Christian duty to submit to rape." (Idiot Methodist Bastards)

Bible
Doesn't Mention Pistols," Engage/Social Action Forum, May, 1977, pp. 39-40.
"My bill ... establishes a 6-month grace period for the turning in of all handguns."
U.S. Representative Major Owens, Congressional Record, 11/10/93
"In fact, only police, soldiers -- and, maybe, licensed target ranges -- should have handguns. No one else needs one."
Michael Gartner, president of NBC News, in The Wall Street Journal, 1/10/91
"I'm convinced that we have to have Federal legislation to build on. We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step
is necessarily, given political realities, going to be very modest. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns( execpt for criminals, of
course) in the United States, is
going to take time. The first problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns in this country. The second problem is to
get handguns registered, and the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns, and all handgun ammunition illegal!"
Nelson T. Shields Founder of Hangun Control, Inc. as quoted in `New Yorker' magazine July 26, 1976. Page 53f |
