20190904 20 QUOTES YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST HEAR ABOUT GUNS "What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms." -- Thomas Jefferson "Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's too much of a public safety hazard, don't see the danger in the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use the same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like." -- Alan M. Dershowitz "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjugated 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." -- Adolf Hitler "To disarm the people... [i]s the most effectual way to enslave them." -- George Mason "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country." -- James Madison "All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party." -- Mao Zedong "A man's rights rest in three boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box." -- Frederick Douglass "The measures adopted to restore public order are: First of all, the elimination of the so-called subversive elements .... They were elements of disorder and subversion. On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results." -- Benito Mussolini "When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." -- Niccolo Machiavelli "If I could have banned them all - 'Mr. and Mrs. America turn in your guns' - I would have!" -- Diane Feinstein "Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men." -- Saint Augustine "One man with a gun can control 100 without one." -- Vladimir Lenin "In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated." -- Joe Wurzelbacher (Joe the plumber) "I don't care if you want to hunt, I don't care if you think it's your right. I say 'Sorry.' it's 1999. We have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun, I think you should go to prison." -- Rosie O'Donnell "As for gun control advocates, I have no hope whatever that any facts whatever will make the slightest dent in their thinking -- or lack of thinking." -- Thomas Sowell "That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." -- George Orwell "We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?" -- Joseph Stalin "I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it." -- Clint Eastwood "I don’t believe people should to be able to own guns." -- Barack Obama (during a conversation with economist and author John Lott Jr. at the University of Chicago Law School in the 1990s) "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and passed on ... or we will spend our sunset years telling our children's children what it was like in the United States when men were free." -- Ronald Reagan When They start telling us we don't need guns, We Need Guns. -- TheDonald.win thread “The right to self defense is inalienable to the right to life. Weaken one and the other is devalued. Surrender your arms today and forfeit your life tomorrow.” "You can't make bad people harmless by making good people helpless."
