"God may have created men equal, but Colonel Colt made 'em so!"

"You can get a lot further with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone."
Al Capone

from Craig McElvoy, this piece of prose was supposed to have been engraved on the stocks of an Arizona lawman's Colt SAA.

"Be afraid of no man,
No matter what size.
When trouble threatens, call on me,
For I shall equalize."


"All power comes from the barrel of a gun."
Mao Zedong
 
I know this is a double post, for a reason...

"All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party." -Mao Zedong

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms." -Adolf Hitler

"Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystander ." -Bill Clinton

Guess who doesnt want 'the people' to have guns?:rolleyes:
 
Fill your hand you son of a bit@h-John Wayne in True Grit
If you're gonna shoot a man, shoot. Don't talk.-Eli Wallach in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
 
Here lies Lester More,
3 shots from a 44.
No Less,
No More.

I read this on a tombstone in Deadwood, S.D. if I remember correctly.

The 3 shots may have been a differant number, maybe 4 shots from a 44. Doesn't matter too much I guess.

4 shots from a .44

No less, no more.

Saw that on a tombstone in Tombstone.

I always liked this one. "It's a f***in' six-shooter!" "There's NINE BODIES, genius. What were you gonna do, laugh the last three to death, Funny Man??" The Boondock Saints
 
"They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."
--Major General Sedgewick's last words, seconds before being picked off by a Confederate sniper
 
Then there's the famous last words of a (black) gang member in a case I had:

"Bust if you gonna bust, nigga!"

BANG!
 
outlaw josey wales has some great quotes but this scene always gets me:
JOSEY: You be Ten Bears?

TEN BEARS: I am Ten Bears.

JOSEY: (Spits tobacco) I'm Josey Wales.

TEN BEARS: I have heard. You're the Gray Rider. You would not make peace with the Blue Coats. You may go in peace.

JOSEY: I reckon not. Got nowhere to go.

TEN BEARS: Then you will die.

JOSEY: I came here to die with you. Or live with you. Dying ain't so hard for men like you and me, it's living that's hard; when all you ever cared about has been butchered or raped. Governments don't live together, people live together. With governments you don't always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well I've come here to give you either one, or get either one from you. I came here like this so you'll know my word of death is true. And that my word of life is then true. The bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche. And so will we. Now, we'll only hunt what we need to live on, same as the Comanche does. And every spring when the grass turns green and the Comanche moves north, he can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle and jerk beef for the journey. The sign of the Comanche, that will be on our lodge. That's my word of life.

TEN BEARS: And your word of death?

JOSEY: It's here in my pistols, there in your rifles. I'm here for either one.

TEN BEARS: These things you say we will have, we already have.

JOSEY: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.

TEN BEARS: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues. There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see. And so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron, it must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life. (He takes his knife and cuts his hand. Josey does the same and they grasp each other's hand.) So shall it be.

I guess it's not a gun qoute, but it's a qoute I feel kinship with on an almost daily basis. It comes from Al Swearingen from "Deadwood" and it goes:

Declare or shut the f*** up!
 
Great song! The name of the band was The Banditos. I can't remember the name of the song, though.

Shh. Political arguments are so much easier to win when you can attribute false quote to your opponents. :neener:
 
More good stuff from True Grit...

Lawyer: Is it not true that you sprang upon the Whartons with a deadly six-shot revolver?

Rooster Cogburn: I always try to be ready.

Lawyer: Was this revolver loaded and cocked?

Rooster Cogburn: A gun that's unloaded ain't good for nothing!
