Some personal favorites from my D. I.

"Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice, you can always get more ammo, you don't always get a second chance."

"If someone is going to use your weapon against you they better be beating you to death 'cause only a fool drops a loaded weapon."
 
Restricting the rights of the many, in order to ward off the actions of the few, is tyranny at its worst.

Less of a quote, and more of a personal belief.
 
In an 1882 speech, Advice to Youth, Mark Twain said:
"Don't meddle with old unloaded firearms. They are the most deadly and unerring things that have ever been created by man. You don't have to take any pains at all with them; you don't have to have a rest, you don't have to have any sights on the gun, you don't have to take aim, even. No, you just pick out a relative and bang away, and you are sure to get him. A youth who can't hit a cathedral at thirty yards with a Gatling gun in three-quarters of an hour, can take up an old empty musket and bag his mother every time at a hundred. Think what Waterloo would have been if one of the armies had been boys armed with old rusty muskets supposed not to be loaded, and the other army had been composed of their female relations. The very thought of it makes me shudder."

Twain never fails to make me smirk while making his point.
