Famous Quotes About Firearms

LawrenceHanson

I'll kick it off.

“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good”.
George Washington – First US President
 
"...this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?" Harry Callahan
 
The good people in this world are very far from being satisfied with each other and my arms are the best peacemaker.” ~ Samuel Colt

DEEEEEEP
 
Science Quotes by Richard Jordan Gatling


It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine - a gun - which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease [would] be greatly diminished.
 
"To conquer a nation, first disarm it's citizens". Adolf Hitler
" We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?" Joseph Stalin
"A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie". Vladimir Lenin
" This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.". Adolf Hitler
 
"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 prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one."

Cesare Beccaria, An Essay on Crimes & Punishments, translated from the Italian with a commentary, attributed to M. de Voltaire, translated from the French (New York: Stephen Gould, 1809), 124-125.

The above was copied by Thomas Jefferson into one of his commonplace legal books.
 
"On every question of construction (of the constitution) let us carry ourselves back to the time when the constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit of the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." Thomas Jefferson
 
Thomas Jefferson on his Turkish made pistols:
"They are 20 inch barrels so well made that I never missed a squirrel at 30 yards with them."
 
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.
