We are putting a new thread up on the HCI parody site:

http://sarahbradycampaign.org/truth.htm

We've only found a few of these quotes, and will need more.  We plan to superimpose the quotes of "don't resist, they won't hurt you" by HCI-types next to faces of 9/11 hijackers and other mass murderers...thanks in advance for your help!

Here are a few- some may apply, some not.

"The best way to deal with a person with a gun (pointed at you) is to say,
'I know you're upset.'  Compassion is the answer. They are human beings
and want the same things I do. Try to be compassionate with them and
relate to them."

-- Jessica Flag, national delegate to the Four One-Hundredths of One
Million Mom March, 7 May 2000, Washington, DC

"I say 'sorry'. It is 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."
Rosie
O'Donnell, Rosie O'Donnell Show, May 1999

I'm comfortable doing a political film for the left. [But] if somebody cast
me in "The Charlton Heston Story," I probably wouldn't do it.
- --JANEANE GAROFALO

"You're going to the NRA headquarters?" inquires a middle-class woman of
liberal and pacific politics. "I'd like to blow that place up!"
- --MICHAEL POWELL, WASHINGTON POST


I have not one doubt, even if I am in agreement with the National Rifle
Association, that that kind of record keeping procedure [gun registration]
is
the first step to eventual confiscation under one administration or another.
--CHARLES MORGAN, DIRECTOR, WASHINGTON DC ACLU, in 1975
testimony before the House Subcommittee on Crime, as quoted in "Guns
& Ammo", August 2000.


And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom.  When
freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it.  That's what we
did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing
projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things
like that..."

       Bill Clinton, 3/22/94,
       on MTV's "Enough is Enough"

"The people should not be allowed to possess bows or crossbows.  When
ten rebels bend their crossbows to the full, a hundred officials dare
not advance."

       Kung-Sun Hung, Imperial Chancellor (124 BC)


"The best defense is to put up no defense- give them what they want."
from: "Guns Don't Die: People Do", p. 125, author: the late Pete Shields,
former President of Handgun Control, Inc.
-- Theory disproved 9/11/2001


CNN reports one of the ways to determine if someone is prone to workplace
violence is "if they are interested in or own firearms".

"In light of the constitutional history, it must be considered as settled
that there is no personal constitutional right, under the Second Amendment,
to own or to use a gun."
--Seth P. Waxman, Office of the Solicitor General, U. S. Department of
Justice, August 22, 2000, (excerpt from letter)

We must be able to arrest people before they commit crimes. By registering
guns and knowing who has them we can do that. ...If they have guns they are
pretty likely to commit a crime.
SEN. MARY ANN CARLSON (VT)

We know that guns are a huge contributing factor to domestic violence
homicides, but knives are very often the weapon that is used...  Some
things are common sense, but there has to be an effort to remove as many
knives as possible from the home and to stay away from rooms like kitchens
when violent situations escalate.
- --JUDITH BEALS, JANE DOE INC. 2/14/2001

Step AWAY from the kitchen, dirtbags.


We found that the before-and-after trends in homicide were virtually
identical in the "experimental" and "control" states. So we concluded that
whatever effect the Brady Act had on homicide was negligible in a
statistical sense.
- --GUN-CONTROL ADVOCATES DR. PHILIP COOK AND DR. JENS LUDWIG


"The Brady Bill's only effect will be to desensitize the public to
regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate
confiscation."  --Charles Krauthammer, Syndicated Columnist, The
Washington Post, April 5, 1996

"Gun control?  It's the best thing you can do for crooks and
gangsters.  I want you to have nothing.  If I'm a bad guy, I'm always
gonna have a gun.  Safety locks?  You will pull the trigger with a lock
on, and I'll pull the trigger.  We'll see who wins."  -- Mafia informant
Sammy "the Bull" Gravano:  Interview in Vanity Fair magazine, August
1999.

*************

"I'm not at all sure that even a callous, irresponsible drug dealer
with a 6-year-old in the house wouldn't leave a child trigger lock on a
gun."  --President William Jefferson Clinton, as quoted in the The
Washington Post, 03/09/2000

Come, let us retract the foreskin of misconception and apply the wirebrush
of enlightenment.
