I hear that from so many different governments, people coming to me and saying, 'You should be careful'. But I don't want to go around with bodyguards.

Common sense should tell us that there is no reason for civilians to have access to easily concealable handguns with the capability to shoot through body armor.

Really, having a gun registry and having to rely on the government to keep it secret, the government isn't so great at keeping confidences.

We have too many intellectuals who are afraid to use the pistol of common sense.

In my opinion, the only people who should have handguns are the police.

That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.

When it comes to our children, the most precious treasure God ever gives us, we protect them with a little sign that says, 'No guns allowed.'

Should we have background checks, waiting periods? To drive a car you have to pass a test that shows you know how to drive your car safely, you should have to do the same thing with guns.

What the police in their ignorance have not figured out is that they have lost all credibility since World War II. They are sort of parasites on the fringe of society and do no particular good for anyone except possibly themselves.

Most Americans think there's already universal background checks. They don't understand why there wouldn't be a background check to purchase a weapon.
