Josh Sugarmann Quotes

• Las armas de asalto -al igual que las balas perforantes, las ametralladoras y las armas de plástico- son un tema nuevo. El aspecto amenazador de estas armas, unido a la confusión del público sobre las ametralladoras totalmente automáticas frente a las armas de asalto semiautomáticas -cualquier cosa que parezca una ametralladora se asume que es una ametralladora- sólo puede aumentar las posibilidades de apoyo público a las restricciones de estas armas. Además, pocas personas pueden imaginar un uso práctico para estas armas.

• One tenet of the National Rifle Association's faith has always been that handgun controls do little to stop criminals from obtaining handguns. For once, the NRA is right and America's leading handgun control organization is wrong. Criminals don't buy guns in gun stores. That's why they're criminals. But it isn't criminals who are killing most of the 20,000 to 22,000 people who die from handguns each year. We are.

• The word 'hate' is a very carefully chosen word. There's got to be a real sense of revulsion and disgust. People are looking for someone to blame, someone who's the cause of their problems, and it should be the gun industry. These guys are the living embodiment of the slogan, 'Guns don't kill people-people kill people'. They're complete mercenaries.
