The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Isn’t fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?
Wayne LaPierre
Law-abiding people need to be able to own firearms to protect themselves.
Wayne LaPierre
The danger isn't that Big Brother may storm the castle gates. The danger is that Americans don't realize that he is already inside the castle walls.

The presence of a firearm makes us all safer.

Folks, Brian Williams isn't the exception. He's exactly what they've taught us to expect from them all. It's not journalism any more - it's entertainment, it's celebrity, it's agendas and it's money. All too often, a lie is now an acceptable way of communicating. To the media, a lie has as much value as the truth.
Wayne LaPierre
When absolutes are abandoned for principles, the U.S. Constitution becomes a blank slate for anyone’s graffiti.
Wayne LaPierre
We cannot make ourselves safer by making ourselves less free.
