If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.
-His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama (May 15, 2001, The Seattle Times), speaking at the Educating Heart Summit in Portland, Oregon, when asked by a girl how to react when a shooter takes aim at a classmate .....Certainly, the intrinsic value of life and the duty to love oneself no less than others are the basis of a true right to self-defense ... legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for someone responsible for another's life, the common good of the family or of the State. Unfortunately, it happens that the need to render the aggressor incapable of causing harm sometimes involves taking his life. In this case, the fatal outcome is attributable to the aggressor whose actions brought it about, even though he may not be morally responsible because of a lack of the use of reason. -Pope John Paul II, Encyclical Letter from 1995, EVANGELIUM VITAE 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. -St. Augustine (354-430 AD) Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep. Under democracy, individual liberty of opinion and action is jealously guarded. -Mahatma Gandhi, The Essential Gandhi, Louis Fischer I used to issue leaflets asking people to enlist as recruits. One of the arguments I had used was distasteful to the Commissioner: 'Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest. If we want the Arms Act to be repealed, if we want to learn the use of arms, here is a golden opportunity. If the middle class render voluntary help to Government in the hour of its trial, distrust will disappear, and the ban on possessing arms will be withdrawn.' The Commissioner referred to this and said that he appreciated my presence in the conference in spite of the differences between us. And I had to justify my standpoint as courteously as I could. -Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi, Indian political and spiritual leader (1869-1948), The Story of my Experiments with Truth - An Autobiography (1927) I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. -Mahatma Gandhi, The Essential Gandhi, Louis Fischer, When there is absolutely no choice but between violence and cowardice, I would choose violence -Mahatma Gandhi, The Essential Gandhi, Louis Fischer Government control gives rise to fraud, suppression of truth, intensification of the black market and artificial scarcity. Above all, it unmans the people and deprives them of initiative. It undoes the teaching of self help that they have been learning for a generation. It makes them spoon fed. This is a tragedy next only, if indeed not equal to the fratricide, on a vast scale and the insane exchange of population resulting in unnecessary deaths, starvation, wand want of proper residence and clothing, more poignant for the coming of inclement weather. -Mahatma Gandhi, The Essential Gandhi, Louis Fischer If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first. -The Talmud Death for the wicked, conclude our Sages, is a benefit for them and for the world while death for the righteous is bad for them and bad for the world. -The Talmud, Sanhedrin 72a When a strong man, armed, keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace. -Luke 11:21 Then said He unto them, but now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.... And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said unto them, it is enough. -Luke 22:36 If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. -Exodus 22:2-3 Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back. -The Koran, The Poets: 26.227 And whoever defends himself after his being oppressed, these it is against whom there is no way to blame. The way to blame is only against those who oppress men and revolt in the earth unjustly; these shall have a painful punishment. -The Koran, The Counsel: 42.36 - 42.42 |

All unabashedly plagiarized from THR...
"To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic." --Ted Nugent "I dream of a world where I can buy alcohol, tobacco and firearms at the same drive thru window and use them all on the way home" --Dogbert "The unarmed man is not just defenseless, he is also contemptible." -- Machiavelli And one of my personal favorites... "Remember folks, never assume malice where stupidity will suffice." --Tamara

These aren't gun related quotes, but funny none the less I thought:
"Republicans act like every day is the 4th of July... Democrats act like every day is April 15th." I believe Ronald Reagan said that one. "Democrats think that when they die, they'll be judged by a man in a wheelchair from Dutchess County." Lets see how many history buffs pick up on that one

“One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree the ‘violence begets violence’. I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would very much like to ensure-and in some cases I have-that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.”
Col. Jeff Cooper, from “Cooper vs. Terrorism” Guns & Ammo Annual, 1975

There ain't many problems that a man can't fix with seven hundred dollars and a 30'06.
I read that on Jeff Cooper's newsletter, I think his daughter wrote it. "We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us." From King Henry V's St Crispian's Day speech, in Henry V "Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy. The corrallary to that is that if someone points a gun at you they're willing to kill you. You are authorized to take that hard." Jeff Cooper - in a video I rented when I first got into shooting. Jobu7: Judged by FDR huh? I'd be found wanting.

"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."

"it's hard to argue with a 357...you can ,but you end up bleeding alot."Or something to that effect..by someone on this forum...
also one by me.."I never took anyone shooting who didn't like it." "we're gonna need a bigger gun.."some sci-fi movie that sucked but it was a good line... "If you can't take care of the situation with 5 ,6 or 7 rounds,you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.."a shooting buddy loosely quoting Jeff Cooper.

"Shoot to kill, son. That's a hard, cold fact of life." My father said that the day I brought home my first handgun. I was 16 and I had asked him what to do if someone ever broke into our house.

"Isn't much more worthless than an unloaded gun." - Dad, when my Mom asked why he was loading the .44 Mag Blackhawk after getting back home from shooting.
"They can have our guns when they pry them out of my cold, dead, hands!" -Mom when I asked her about gun control after being "educated" on it in High School.

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body, and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
