Elites don't care not one whit about school children. If they truly cared, what they would do is protect them.
— Wayne LaPierre
I think we need national carry reciprocity.
A gun in the hands of a secret service agent protecting our president isn't a bad word.
With all the foreign aid the United State does... can't we afford to put a police officer in every single school?
There are only two reasons to compile list of gun owners: to tax them or to take them.
We think it's reasonable to provide mandatory instant background checks for every sale at every gun show. No loopholes anywhere, for anyone.
If the U.S. refused to take part in the U.N.'s international gun registry, other nations could potentially ban their domestic firearm manufacturers from exporting firearms to the United States.
If the U.N. gun-ban treaty is ever signed and ratified into law, we may never get a second chance to save the Second Amendment.
As members of the oldest civil rights organization in the nation, NRA members know tyranny when we see it.
When you're at war you do what it takes to win.
There's not a mom or dad that wants to leave their child unprotected.
I've been arguing with Dianne Feinstein for years.
If you aren't free to protect yourself - when government puts its thumb on that freedom - then you aren't free at all.
The Second Amendment is not just words on parchment. It's not some frivolous suggestion from our Founding Fathers to be interpreted by whim. It lies at the heart of what this country was founded upon.
After Hurricane Sandy, we saw the hellish world that the gun prohibitionists see as their utopia. Looters ran wild in south Brooklyn. There was no food, water or electricity. And if you wanted to walk several miles to get supplies, you better get back before dark, or you might not get home at all.
Always remember Rahm Emanuel and those of his ilk who are opposed to our fundamental civil right to keep and bear arms when you donate to NRA-ILA or the NRA Civil Rights Legal Defense Fund.
The media's intentional corruption of the truth is an abomination and NRA members will never - and I mean never - submit or surrender to the national media!
President Obama, he's never going to debate me on guns. His knowledge on that issue wouldn't fill a thimble, and he knows it. I would clean his clock, and he knows it.
We need a full-court press on personal protection. We need to be able to protect ourselves.
We can't lose precious time debating legislation that won't work.
The whole idea from some of our opponents that armed security makes us less safe is completely ridiculous. If that's true, armed security makes us less safe, let's just go ahead and remove it from everywhere.
If you aren't free to protect yourself when the government puts its thumb on that freedom, then you're not free at all.
From Obama to Michael Bloomberg, Dianne Feinstein, Michael Moore, Rosie O'Donnell and the rest of the media-political elite, the whole time they're attacking your right to own a gun, they're enjoying armed security for themselves.
Those who still believe the United Nations is a human rights organization with the best of intentions are kidding themselves.
The ultimate goal of the gun ban 'scientific community' is to make the 'gun ownership is a disease' mantra into politically settled science.
Once they ban rifles, they're gone forever.
People that support more gun laws tend to have the least knowledge of the laws that are already on the books.
I tell gun owners and hunters and sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters and Americans every day that all of these freedoms we have are just words on a piece of parchment paper unless we stand up and defend them every day.
People want to be able to protect themselves.
Our individual liberty is the very essence of America. It is what makes America unique.
Gun owners are not buying firearms because they anticipate a confrontation with the government. Rather, we anticipate confrontations where the government isn't there - or simply doesn't show up in time.
It has always been sensible for good citizens to own and carry firearms for lawful protection against violent criminals who prey on decent people.
Success in restoring and bolstering Second Amendment rights through aggressive legal challenges depends on you, your friends, family and colleagues.
We know that, sooner or later, reckless government actions and policies have consequences. That when government corrupts the truth and breaks faith with the American people, the entire fabric of our society - everything we believe in and count on - is in jeopardy.
I think every school needs a protection plan with a either police officer or certified armed security.
Well, what every place needs is a security plan that protects it.
There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people through vicious and violent video games.
Not enough people really think about the founding of our country, how it all began and what its really about. They don't even teach it in schools any more.
Evil walks among us, and God help us if we don't harden our schools and protect our kids.
Parents all over the country are using their right to keep and bear arms to protect their kids.
The U.N.'s driving mission is to accumulate power at the expense of the sovereignity of individual nations and fundamental individual rights, and its gun-ban treaty proves it.
Obama cannot erase the Second Amendment without crippling or controlling exercise of the First Amendment.
The NRA was run like an old-time club when I took over. We were in the red and getting cut off from our membership.
It shouldn't be just the rich and the powerful that send their children to schools where there is armed security. Parents shouldn't be holding their breath because there's no security in schools they're sending their children to.
Nobody should be forced to face evil with empty hands.
We are the millions and millions of Americans who take responsibility for our own safety and protection of our children as a God-given right. We are proud to exercise that right, are not ashamed of it and deserve nothing less than absolute respect and admiration as lawful gun owners.
Our Founding Fathers knew that without Second Amendment freedom, all of our freedoms could be in jeopardy.
The media try to make rank-and-file Americans feel guilty about buying a gun. The enemies of freedom demonize gun buyers and portray us as social lepers. But we know the truth. We know that responsible gun ownership exemplifies what is good and right about America.
Victimize gun owners, then blame the victims. That's the Chicago Way, and it will never change as long as city bosses are pathological in their hatred of our civil rights.
People have become so weary of all the government and media dishonesty, the all-too-commonplace lying, that most Americans have stopped listening.
