“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 to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” MenMayLawLibertyGreaterCrimeArmsGunDeterminedLibertarianCommitCommunismAmendmentsLibertarianismGun ControlFoundingLaws Of NatureFreedom And LibertySelf DefenseSecond AmendmentFreedom LibertyOur Founding FathersLimited GovernmentFirearmsUs Founding FathersRight To Bear ArmsMilitiaBearing ArmsGun RightsLimiting GovernmentRights And FreedomsHomicidePro GunFounding Fathers GunUnarmed2 AmendmentFounding Fathers Second AmendmentGreat LibertarianDisarmingLimiting FreedomAnti GunAmendment 1Gun LawStrong ArmsAmendment 19Amendment 4Pro Gun ControlPatriotic GunAmendment 13Guns In AmericaVoting Founding FathersGun CrimeCarrying GunsCommitting Crimes Author:Thomas Jefferson
“If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of criminal acts reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying - that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 - establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.” IfsShouldTryingLongStatesFactsLawLevelsHalfCenturyCrimeExampleSeriousTypePeriodsGunShould HaveDifficultyCriminalsDrawingListsInevitableSouthernAmendmentsLegislationGun ControlSecond AmendmentRight To Bear ArmsBearing ArmsGun RightsSponsorsRights And FreedomsPro GunFounding Fathers Gun2 AmendmentFounding Fathers Second AmendmentAnti GunAmendment 1Gun LawGun Crime Author:Orrin Hatch
“The ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime.

“Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic - purely symbolic - move in that direction.
