Quotes from our Enemies

"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, Berlin Daily, April 15, 1935

"I don't care if you want to hunt. I don't care if you think it's your right. I say: Sorry, it's 1999. We have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun I think you should go to prison." - Talk-show host Rosie O'Donnell

Our task of creating a Socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed." -- Sarah Brady (President of Handgun Control, Inc.) to Senator Howard Metzenbaum, The National Educator, January, 1994, Page 3.

Search every house and apartment. Confiscate all drugs and weapons. - Ross Perot (Source: The Washington Post, June 6, 1992)

The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected peoples to carry arms have prepared their own fall. - Adolph Hitler, Edict of March 18, 1938

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans ..." ~Bill Clinton (USA TODAY, 11 March 1993, page 2A)

"Gun registration is not enough." ~Attorney General Janet Reno, December 10, 1993 (Associated Press)

"Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal."~Janet Reno
