I think America's obsession with guns and with violence in media and society is a horrible sickness.

Getting a gun should be easy for good people and impossible for bad people. The only trick is telling the difference.

There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn't have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.

Unless they're a fugitive or a felon, or adjudicated mentally ill, we're not against them buying guns at all.

In truth, there is no rational argument for guns in this society. This is no longer a frontier nation in which people hunt their own food. It is a crowded, overwhelmingly urban country in which letting people have access to guns is a continuing disaster.

It's amazing how easily people are led to fury and chaos. Unhappy people with guns are not going to make this country great.

I don't have much patience with sick people.
