Bill Stevens, Newtown resident, and parent of girl that survived the Sandy Hook murders, speaking before a "working group" in the Connecticut General Assembly.
"I’m not here to cite crime statistics, lives saved with guns, or the
economic impact of the proposed asinine legislation – some of these gun
control bills you have proposed – I will, however, read from the
Connecticut state constitution. Section 15 reads very clearly – we all
know what the Second Amendment says – but Section 15 in the state
constitution says very clearly 'every citizen has a right to bear arms
in defense of himself and the state.' There’s no registration, there’s
no permitting, there’s no background checks. It’s quite clear."
- Bill Stevens
And then there was Ted Nugent, being interviewed by Piers Morgan.
"I care about all death." - Piers Morgan
"I don't think you do. I think you care about guns. You're obsessed with guns ... Would you leave us the hell alone?" - Ted Nugent
