When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ...... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.
——Bill Clinton, 3-22-94

The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun.

We not only provide excellent training services, we have a complete and diverse line of firearms, ammunition, shooting accessories, and gunsmithing available.

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.
—— Jefferson's Commonplace Book, 1774-1776 - quoting from "On Crimes and Punishment",
by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764

A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.
