Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . .

Laws which prescribe what everyone must believe, and forbid men to say or write anything against this or that opinion, are often passed to gratify, or rather to appease the anger of those who cannot abide independent minds.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Laws directed against opinions affect the generous-minded rather than the wicked, and are adapted less for coercing criminals than for irritating the upright.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Law and justice are not always the same.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Law is often the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
