Guns are part of the Constitution, and no one is willing to have that tough conversation with Congress and the Senate and the president to say maybe that's got to change. People talk about it - but I mean actual change.

There is no way the American public will sit still for the banning of or putting any significant restrictions on the kinds of guns they want.

I don't believe there should be any restrictions when it comes to firearms. None.

Gun bans disarm victims, putting them at the mercy of murderers or terrorists who think nothing of breaking the gun laws.

Understanding the long, sordid history of gun control in America is key to understanding the dangers of disarming.

I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don't enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It's not the law-abiding citizens, it's not the person who uses it as a hobby.

Instead of saying we need to outlaw certain types of weapons, we need to find better ways to enforce current law.

When President Obama first unveiled his gun control proposals recommending a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and better background checks, there seemed to be momentum behind the effort. But then the proposals ran into a wall.
