There will always be opportunities to make poor decisions in a free society. You can't ban your way to safety, but you can ban your way to serfdom.

"The GOP has many problems, but the Democratic Party has turned into something completely un-American. The United States was founded on two things: Judeo-Christian values and a limited federal government. The entire platform of modern Democrats stands completely opposite both of those."

Jesse Kelley

Notable Quotes

"The safety mechanism of our government is that emotionally charged debates can’t cause overnight constitutional crises — and for that, all Americans should be grateful."

Notable Quotes

"Even if this court [FISA] turned down every request from NSA, the principle of a secret court which issues secret opinions is incompatible with even the broadest understanding of what democracy (or republic) means. Unless, that is, we now mean to include the Peoples Democratic Republic of North Korea."

"[O]n the high end, anyone can purchase voice and internet communications software that are beyond the capacity of anyone to access without an electronic key. On the low end, anyone with a few hundred dollars can buy dozens of pre paid cell phones, each to be used to make or receive a single call and then be thrown away. NSA’s million square-foot facility in Utah, and all the antennas and computers in the world, are useless against that."

Notable Quotes

“The Second Amendment — it’s not just words on parchment. It’s not a frivolous suggestion from our Founding Fathers to be interpreted on a whim. It lies on the very heart of what our country was founded upon. Our Founding Fathers knew that without the Second Amendment, all of our other freedoms could be in jeopardy. [And] our freedoms are the very essence of America. They are what make America unique.”

Wayne LaPierre

Notable Quotes

"A new federal assault weapons ban and background checks of all gun buyers....might have done little to prevent the massacre in Newtown, Conn., last month. The semiautomatic rifle that Adam Lanza used to shoot 20 schoolchildren and 6 adults complied with Connecticut’s assault weapons ban, the police said, and he did not buy the gun himself."

Notable Quotes

"The threat of armed mobs is a greater defense of liberties than any words written on an old piece of parchment, however much we may cherish those words."

Peter Kinder Missouri lieutenant governor

Notable Quotes

"American conservatism didn't arise from a yearning to conform to public opinion. Its raison d'être was to defend constitutional liberty and economic opportunity – free men and free markets – and to make the case that human dignity and prosperity flourish not when government is all-powerful, but when it is limited."

Jeff Jacoby

Notable Quotes

"Apparently, 'terrorism' is the magic word that allows govt. to totally disregard ANYTHING connected to Constitutional protections."

Joe Blankovic

Notable Quotes

"Government, for the past 80 years or so, has seen its purpose as mainly to "respond" to society's failures the moment they occur or whenever they are imagined. Adam Lanza killed with guns, so modern policy-making logic posits that government must pass a law. Whether that law will accomplish its goal is . . . irrelevant."-

DANIEL HENNINGER

Notable Quotes

" The incendiary witch hunt against law-abiding, peaceful gun owners is neither noble nor effective. It's just plain insane."

Michelle Malkin

Notable Quotes

"It is growing ever more obvious that we are headed towards a Hunger Games nation where the political elites hold the rest of the nation both in contempt and in bondage through the destruction of personal property rights and the dismantling of individual freedoms."

Jer

Notable Quotes

"After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military."

William Burroughs
