“More than 90 percent of all uses of guns in self-defense do not
involve actually firing the weapon, despite gun control advocates’
assumption that we are all such trigger-happy idiots that letting
ordinary citizens have guns will lead to bullets flying hither and
yon. Like virtually every other liberal crusade, gun control is based
on the assumption that other people lack common sense and must be
controlled by the superior wisdom and virtue of the anointed.”
–Thomas Sowell
