“Antigun advocates have always faced an uphill battle in this country. Americans have, to begin with, a constitutional right to gun ownership. Today, half of American households exercise this right, owning a total of about 250 million guns; and over 99 percent of those households do so in a responsible manner.

So if you're really committed to the effort, and you want to win, what do you do? Simple: You lie.”

If it was just a question of the financial institutions themselves, they could be left to sink or swim. But it is not.”
