share you favorite gun quote
I know a lot of folks have them on their signature line. I thought it might be nice to get a bunch located in one place. I have two. One is in my signature line.
The other is below and was from a Santa Barbara police office in 1993 or 1994 when I commented on his 45 while he was helping me with my broken down car. It put a smile on my face while we waited for the two truck to come. Let's hear yours. "Big bullets make big holes"

I started a thread a while back on the same topic. Since then I've been collecting them. But most of mine are political quotes are by famous people throughout history rather than humorous anecdotes. Here's what I have so far:
Firearms/Political Wisdom 1. Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul; the other for your freedom. - George Patton 2. America was founded by men who understood that the threat of domestic tyranny is as great as any threat from abroad. If we want to be worthy of their legacy, we must resist the rush toward ever-increasing state control of our society. Otherwise, our own government will become a greater threat to our freedoms than any foreign terrorist. - Ron Paul 3. When the people fear their government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. - Thomas Jefferson 4. Gun control defined: The theory that people who are willing to ignore laws against rape, torture, kidnapping, theft, and murder will obey a law which prohibits them from owning a firearm. - Unknown 5. "I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi 6. “Gun control has not worked in D.C. The only people who have guns are criminals. We have the strictest gun laws in the nation and one of the highest murder rates. It's quicker to pull your Smith and Wesson than to dial 911 if you're being robbed.” - Lieutenant Lowell Duckett, President of the Black Police Caucus, Special Assistant to the Washington, D.C. Police Chief 7. He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. - Luke 22:36 8. We should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word. - Senator Bennett (UT) 9. It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government. - Thomas Paine. 10. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have. - Barry Goldwater 11. "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth." - George Washington 12. "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.” - Dalai Lama (Seattle Times, 05-15-2001) 13. "Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." - Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi 14. "Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell 15. “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves” - Edward R. Murrow 16. “Quemadmodum gladius neminem occidit, occidentis telum est.” - Lucius Annaeus “A sword never kills anybody; it's a tool in the killer's hand.” 17. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." - Norman Thomas, American socialist 18. "The tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson 19. "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" - Rudyard Kipling 20. "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." - George Orwell 21. In the corner - not a vision - but a sign for coming days Stand a box of ammunition and a rifle in green baize. And in this, the living present, let the word go through the land, Every tradesman, clerk and peasant should have these two things at hand. - Henry Lawson 22. While the bitter parties stifle every voice that warns of war, Every man should own a rifle and have cartridges in store! - Henry Lawson 23. "The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." - Theodore Roosevelt 24. “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto 25. Let a man never stir on his road a step without his weapons of war; for unsure is the knowing when need shall arise of a spear on the way without – Havamal verse 38 26. 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. - Cesare, Marquis of Beccaria, "On Crimes and Punishment" 27. "25 States allow anyone to buy a gun, strap it on, and walk down the street with no permit of any kind: some say it's crazy. However, four out of five US murders are committed in the other half of the country: so who's crazy?" - Andrew Ford 28. "Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government." - James Madison 29. "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." - Thomas Jefferson 30. "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." - Chairman Mao 31. "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" - Thomas Jefferson 32. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Ben Franklin, 1759 33. “We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” - Ronald Reagan 34. "The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates." - Tacitus 35. “A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't own." - Unknown 36. "When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both." - James Dale Davidson, National Taxpayers Union 37. "The constitution of the United States asserts that all power is inherent in the people, that they may exercise it by themselves, that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed!" - Thomas Jefferson 38. "The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." - Samuel Adams 39. "The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." - James Madison 40. "How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!" - Samuel Adams Last edited by k1dude; 02-12-2010 at 2:42 PM.. Reason: Formatting |

Thanks K1dude for your extensive list. You probably know this (but others may not), there is a pamphlet (ad in every issue of Shotgun News) that contains all the quotes from the founding fathers regarding firearms and it ties them back to the source. It costs like under a buck and they're designed so you can mail them to folks. Well worth owning. Your list has captured most of them.

"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that? " Ash

and in honor of your avatar one of my favorite quotes "How do you shot the women and Children" "You dont lead them as much!" One htat i have seen before. it think it was from George Washingtons fairwel address. "It should eb the right of the people to own weapons that their military uses. because it is that government that the people will be fighting. Gun Control is hitting your Target. Us Marines. Travel Agents to Allah. there was another one that went sometihng like. "I am a marine this is my side of the street do not cross over to my side of the street or threaten my street or i will come to your side and kill you."
