"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."
Thomas Jefferson

Another interesting quote on gun controll:

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized
nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our
police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the
future!" --Adolf Hitler,1935

Think of these the next time you listen to the Brady crowd and other GFW's of their ilk..Which way are they trying to lead us, into secure freedom or freedom from security?

"Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic."–-Pope Benedict XVI(then Cardinal Ratzinger)

See, Barry/Biden? Even the POPE doesn't agree with you.

The old joke applies:
A Republican sees a homeless man on the street and reaches into his pocket to give him some money.

A Democrat sees a homeless man on the street and, contemplating the manÂ’s conditionÂ….. reaches into the RepublicanÂ’s pocket and gives the man some money.

I got the following unattributed quote from my ex-BiL...any married man can attest to it's wisdom.

"Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her."

So - if you give her crap, you will receive more shit than any one human being can handle"

Thanks Wayne !

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson

You just might to remember this quote the next time that ANY candidate promises you "guaranteed health care", access to totally "free" education, or any other social program that promises something to you seemingly without a direct price tag to you.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

“Now our opponents tell you not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they are not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax ‘businesses.’ So unless you buy something from a ‘business,’ like groceries or clothes or gasoline... or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small ‘business,’ don’t worry... it’s not going to affect you. They say they are not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the ‘other’ side of the bucket! That’s their idea of tax reform.” —Fred Thompson
