"...There's going to be a tremendous push to take away our freedoms,
no doubt about it..."
- The dynamics of passing anti-gun legislation has changed dramatically
with a Democrat in the governor seat. Democrats can no longer craft
unmanagable legislation with the goal of drawing a governor's veto.
"...There's no one else to blame,,, They must be responsible for the product..."
- "Assault Firearm" is a political term, there is no real class of firearm
that holds this label. The legislature in California has grappled with this fact
for more than 10 years. "...If you are going to ban something, or
restrict something, you have to be able to define what it is you're talking about..."
- "...I'm not sure the Attorney General-Elect wants this problem.
His predecessors have been hurt politically by it, now he's in line to get
hurt himself..."

- "...In the past 5 or 6 years... we have been very successful [in California]
because our members got involved and hammered away at their elected officials.
We have defeated virtually all of the gun control bills and we've passed
pro-gun bills... We've held our own and we've gained ground..."
- "...If our members will get out there and get involved with their elected
officials, and get them the facts, we will prevail..."
- "...I think we'll have a junk-gun bill, a trigger-lock bill, we'll have a
one-gun-a-month bill, we'll have the wish list from Handgun Control..."
- "...I'm really enthused by the challenge. If you believe the LA Times,
we have our backs against the wall, things have never been so dark for us. If the
grassroots folks get out there and do their job, I think we may take some small hits, but will do a very good job of protecting
our freedoms..."
- [Regarding lower crime rates] "...I think what we're starting to see
is the effect of 3-Strikes-You're-Out and a bill out there called 10-20-Life,
which is serious gun control... gun control for criminals. If
you use a gun to rob someone, or hurt someone, or threaten someone, you're
going to prison for a very, very long time.... This is the worst
nightmare for gun control zealots because gun control doesn't work, but
the kind of gun control, if you will, for criminals that we have
traditionally supported works great..."
- "...In Fresno they have had a program for some time now, making very
clear to criminals through ads and TV spots, what the results of using a gun in a crime
are, and the crimes in Fresno have dropped just a staggering amount..."
- "...The kind of gun control that works is putting criminals in jail.
Of course, that's what we've been saying for a long time..."
- "...There's no doubt [the Democrats] can pass a bill. They can pass whatever bill
they want to. But what they don't want to do is have it blow up in their face,
and if they're not careful, it will..."
