I think we need national carry reciprocity.
Liberals tell amazing lies about guns and everything else.
Gun regulation is historically as American as is gun possession.
Concealed-carry reciprocity, I believe, undermines American gun laws by forcing states to accept carry-permitting standards of every other state, including some states that have no standards at all.
The last thing we need is efforts by some politicians and the NRA to arm educators and allow more guns in our schools.
While New York City cannot prevent other jurisdictions from selling firearms, it has taken a powerful stance against guns by divesting pension funds from gun manufacturers.
I intend to dedicate my remaining time as president of the NRA to ensure that the Second Amendment is safe from Al Gore and all those who threaten it.
Legal gun ownership always prevails over the emotionalism of the gun control movement.
You don't reduce crime by taking away guns from law-abiding citizens.
I strongly support the Second Amendment and I believe the Second Amendment ought to be preserved - which means no gun control.
I am all for controlling guns.
Yes, Dr. King is pro-gun just as surely as Jesus would be pro-nails.
If I were governor, and a bill came to my desk that provided for background checks at gun shows, I would sign that.

We have to start with a ban on the manufacturing and import of handguns. From there we register the guns which are currently owned, and follow that with additional bans and acquisitions of handguns and rifles with no sporting purpose.
When the NRA is funding your campaign and giving you, you know, millions of dollars, are you likely to pass gun legislation or support it? No, and I think that's the reason why we see members of Congress refusing to do anything.
My job as attorney general has been, in regard to guns, to have oversight in regard to concealed-carry licenses.
This is one of the major problems we have. By the way, it was endorsed by leadership on both sides of the aisle and both ends of the Capitol, by the NRA and also by the gun control groups.
Guns are dangerous. The only thing more dangerous is not having them.
Gun control is not the answer. The best and most effective path forward, I believe, is one that safeguards our schools from becoming 'soft targets.'
There is no such thing as gun control. There is only centralizing gun ownership into the hands of a small, political elite and their minions.
I'm the original co-sponsor of an assault weapons ban.
