Gun Control Laws

Famous quotes containing the words gun, control and/or laws:

    What cannot stand must fall; and the measure of our sincerity and therefore of the respect of men, is the amount of health and wealth we will hazard in the defence of our right. An old farmer, my neighbor across the fence, when I ask him if he is not going to town-meeting, says: “No, ‘t is no use balloting, for it will not stay; but what you do with the gun will stay so.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Just as men must give up economic control when their wives share the responsibility for the family’s financial well-being, women must give up exclusive parental control when their husbands assume more responsibility for child care.
    Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)

    It ain’t no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don’t break any.
    Mae West, U.S. actor, screenwriter, and A. Edward Sutherland. Peaches O’Day (Mae West)
