For all its shortcomings, European co-operation and integration has created an understanding of shared destiny. We no longer point guns at each other; we fight it out at a conference table. And we will continue to do so when the U.K. is no longer a member state but, I hope, still a friend.

Like all kids who want to be in action movies, I want to jump out of a speeding car, shoot guns, slide out the side in slow motion like a John Woo movie.
13
14
I thought the musical aspect of ‘Freak Dance’ was a good contrast to how dancers always try to come off as really tough in those movies – they’re trying to literally come off as gangs like as if the Crips and the Bloods are also dancing in addition or instead of fighting with guns and knives and stuff.

Look, I owns guns.

Businesses – we protect our businesses with the guns, our banks, our money. We protect politicians with guns.
23
If it wasn’t for KISS, there would be no Guns N’ Roses. Bands like that made Guns N’ Roses. We were five guys with five personalities and five different influences. The stars were aligned for us.
24
25
We simply want gun legislation in this country that allows law-abiding citizens to still own guns or prevents people with a history of mental illness or a history of a criminal background from owning a firearm.
26
27
I am all for controlling guns.
28
29
In the litany of issues that separate the two Americas – one more conservative and one more liberal, increasingly as opposed and intractable and opaque to each other as the Palestinians and Israelis – none is so fierce, precise, inviolable and confounding to the other side as guns.
30
Babies are born bow-legged in South Dakota. By the age of 12, they can purchase guns. At 14, they can take their driving test. Fortunately, since the geographical area of South Dakota can accommodate both France and Germany, but has a population of only 750,000, the chances of hitting anything are pretty slim.
31
Dangerous people with guns are a threat to women.

Everybody with a gun has a checkpoint in Lebanon. And in Lebanon, you’d be crazy not to have a gun. Though, I assure you, all the crazy people have guns, too.
38
One of the arrangements I’m really proud of is ’21 Guns’ because the chorus has this descending bass line with a suspended type of progression that immediately screamed ‘Bach‘ to me.
39
40
Oh my God, Guns N’ Roses – it’s like, jeez, that’s what made me move out to Los Angeles. ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ you know – it’s been a huge inspiration for me.
41

43
We take responsibility for being firearm owners. We take responsibility for whose hands those guns get into.

‘The Purge‘ is really about America’s crazy relationship to guns and guns gone wild, essentially, and it kind of laid the groundwork for ‘Get Out.’
50
The NRA is interested in protecting the civil rights of Americans, not protecting the ability of terrorists to get guns.
51
It’s time that Americans dealt seriously with guns, getting in place strong and appropriate measures – there is no excuse for anything but the strictest controls.

People don’t have a constitutional right to leave loaded guns lying around. And if they choose to do so – and a kid gets shot and killed because of it – it’s not an accident. It’s negligent homicide.
60
61
62
Background checks are an important part of keeping guns out of the wrong hands, but they are only as good as the information in the database.
63
You can see my guns at my apartment. The safe room is a special place… It’s good to have a safe room in your house. It’s storm-proof; we’ve got food, store supplies, all kinds of stuff.
64
65
There is no way the American public will sit still for the banning of or putting any significant restrictions on the kinds of guns they want.
66
67
Criminals don’t care about guns laws.
68
69
I did not start hunting until later in life. When I was a kid growing up in Pennsylvania, my dad worked at a steel mill, and we didn’t have the means to buy guns or take off and go hunting. But I loved being outdoors. I built tree stands and ground blinds in the woods and pretended that I was hunting.

Sometimes, it’s good to stick to your guns.
78
I started rocking and rolling when Guns N’ Roses came out. It wasn’t until Garth Brooks came around that I really got back to country. He made it fun again. To me, in country music, the rigor mortis was setting in and it just wasn’t fun anymore. Garth brought everyone back over to country and made it cool again.
79
Knowing who you are and what guns you own was indeed the key to the massive gun theft by government in Australia that saw hundreds of thousands of honest, law-abiding citizens disarmed.
80
81
The Gun Control Act of 1968 was an attempt to impose order. It set up the Federal Firearms License (FFL) system; gun stores would have to become licensed, and they would have to follow certain rules. Felons, illegal immigrants, and crazy people would be prohibited from buying guns.
82
You set something in modern-day Texas, which is so identifiable as the Old West, and everyone’s wearing guns, so it looks like it’s going to be, by default, partially considered a western.

I remember the moment in which we were taken hostage in Libya, and we were asked to lie face down on the ground, and they started putting our arms behind our backs and started tying us up. And we were each begging for our lives because they were deciding whether to execute us, and they had guns to our heads.
89
I don’t believe in gun bans; that’s a fallacy that people have, that they think if you believe in gun control you want to ban guns. That’s not true.
90
I hate guns, I think they’re the worst thing ever invented.
91
There are too many guns.
92
93
Guns are part of the Constitution, and no one is willing to have that tough conversation with Congress and the Senate and the president to say maybe that’s got to change. People talk about it – but I mean actual change.
94
95
Every one of my positions cuts – out half the country. I’m pro-choice, I’m pro-gay rights, I’m pro-immigration, I’m against guns, I believe in Darwin.
96
I’m not a great hunter. But I have fired guns in the past, when I was growing up. But it was part of growing up where I lived. You go out hunting or target practice. They also taught you to respect guns.
97
98
99
I called my show ‘Power’ because, for me, the whole series is about the way my main character, Ghost, is power-less over his circumstances, even though he has almost endless access to money and guns.

102
103
104
If you write any kind of fiction about America, you immediately have to start doing some research about guns, so in some ways, ‘Gun Machine’ is just the culmination of 20 years of reading about guns.
105
106
107
With Pantera, we lived through so many trend-of-the-day situations – when grunge was huge, we were still a heavy metal band; when hip-hop started getting incorporated into metal, we stuck to our guns and remained a heavy metal band very purposefully.
108
Guns can turn you into an insider even if you’re an outsider by nature, recruiting you into a loose fraternity of people who feel embattled and defensive and are primally eager to win allies.
109
110
111
I’ve accepted that we’ve all got crap to deal with and problems that we’re fighting not to be defined by. At the end of the day, we all want the same stuff: fulfillment, love, support, comfort, and a hot-air balloon with laser guns attached to it. The most important thing is that we appreciate the crazy ride we’re on.
112
113
I have more guns than I need and not as many as I want.
114
The proven method for saving the lives of innocent Americans is not disarming them. The proven method for saving the lives of innocent Americans is to arrest, prosecute, convict and jail criminal offenders, especially armed career criminals illegally using guns. This is the way to reduce gun violence.
115
We know that the crime committed by people with guns by criminals, they get the guns by flouting the law to begin with. They don’t go to gun shows.
116
117
118
119
I used to be the chief guest in all the prize distribution ceremonies of shooting competitions. I tried my hand on a lot of guns, and my aim improved. I started hitting tiny targets, like a mineral bottle cap.
120
In our school you were searched for guns and knifes on the way in and if you didn’t have any, they gave you some.
121
People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is carried out by government.
122
123
When I was a kid and listening to Zeppelin and Guns N’ Roses, if someone had told me that there would come a time, and I would play some of those songs with those people, I would never have believed it.
124
125
126
I don’t want my marriage or my guns registered in Washington. And if people have an opinion, it’s a religious opinion that is heartly felt, obviously they should be allowed to practice that, and no government should interfere with them.
127
128
I presented a bill that will address a glaring loophole that allows gun buyers to bypass a background check by purchasing guns as kits. These kits allow anyone to purchase a totally untraceable firearm. The act simply says these weapons should be regulated like other firearms and require background checks.
129
It was difficult being a conscientious objector in the 1940’s, but I felt I had to stick to my guns.
130
131
132
133
If you reduce the guns and the ammo, you’ll reduce the murders.
134
135
Part of my affinity with urban music comes from being on ‘Kids Incorporated,’ ‘cos we used to sit around and listen to Chaka Khan and Prince, and I got influenced by all that. Then gangsta rap got started, and I was infatuated with that – maybe that’s why I’m fascinated by guns.
136
137
138
I watched, for the 17th and hopefully the last time, The ‘Guns of Navarone’ on New Year‘s Eve. I always watch just in case the explosives don’t go off in the end. You have to watch the end, just to make sure it’s OK.
139
140
Should we have background checks, waiting periods? To drive a car you have to pass a test that shows you know how to drive your car safely, you should have to do the same thing with guns.
141
The barn doors are open, and the horses are running out because we’ve got guns all over the place. It’s basically a cold war for individuals: you’ve got a nuclear bomb, and I’ve got a nuclear bomb, and the only thing stopping us from using them is the fact we both have them.
142
143
The so-called assault weapons ban is a hoax. It is a political appeal to the ignorant. The guns it supposedly banned have been illegal for 78 years. Did the ban make them ‘more’ illegal? The ban addresses only the appearance of weapons, not their operation.
144
145
146
147

The Bar Association can do so much in teaching people how to resolve conflicts without knives and guns and fists.
150
151
152
153
154
155
There’s no evidence that I’m aware of that guns reduce crime.
156
157
The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it’s important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification.
158
I’m prepared to say that law enforcement should be allowed to seize the guns of those who are suspected to be involved in domestic terrorism.
159
160
The vast majority of the guns in the U.S. are sold to white people who live in the suburbs or the country. When we fantasize about being mugged or home invaded, what’s the image of the perpetrator in our heads? Is it the freckled-face kid from down the street – or is it someone who is, if not black, at least poor?
161
We were working under very harsh conditions on ‘Zero Kelvin.’ We were up there in the Arctic, closer to the North Pole than to a hospital. Sometimes you had to sleep in small Arctic tents with guns to protect yourself from polar bears and stuff.
162
I’ve been into guns ever since I was a little kid, and the ones that fascinate me most are the black powder guns that people used back in the 17 and 1800s.
163
We’ve got some people who think Shariah law oughta be the law of the land, forget the Constitution. But the guns are there, the Second Amendment is there, to make sure all of the rest of the amendments are followed.
164
165
166
167
Guns are going to be here until the end of time; the underworld is going to be here until the end of time. It’s just a sad reality that dumb people use them.
168
169
Do we really need to arm our citizens with machine guns or semiautomatic weapons? And don’t we need to make sure that people who do own guns are qualified to own them?
170
171
172
We have a shotgun we inherited from my father-in-law, a paranoid Englishman living in Texas. I have a .22 Marlin rifle, similar to the one Annie Oakley had, and my husband has a .357 Magnum pistol. All those are locked up tight, of course. We have a couple of pellet guns that get more use than the real guns.
173
174
I’ve had times where one of my roommates was moving out of the house in college, and because we were the only black people in that neighborhood, the cops got called, and we had guns drawn on us. Came in the house, without knocking, guns drawn on my teammates and roommates. So I have experienced this.
175
176
177
The French were generous in giving us assistance in corps and army artillery, with its personnel, and we were confident from the start of our superiority over the enemy in guns of all calibers.
178
There is something kind of aggressively and inhumanly repetitive about this line that guns are essential to American liberties – hard one to stomach when so many thousands of people are dying every year for this so-called liberty.
179
I would play with Guns n’ Roses anytime.
180
President Obama, under your leadership, we do need guns to keep us safe.
181
There is no clear place to draw the line once you eliminate the traditional marriage, and it’s the same once you start putting limits on what guns can be used, then it’s just really easy to have laws that make them all illegal.
182
When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, ‘Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.’ But, you know, most people don’t speak out because they are frightened.
183
184
Every time guns fall into the wrong hands and are used to intimidate, injure, or murder women, it erodes the rights of responsible gun owners everywhere.
185
186
187
I have to be honest – I don’t love guns.
188
189
We must get rid of all the guns.
190
I’ve never done an action show, really. On ‘Jericho,’ other people got to ride horses and shoot guns, but I never did.
191
Buckhannon, population 5,639, is a deeply conservative town and long has been. While coal is its past, oil and gas are its likely future. It’s a town where guns are sold at yard sales, where Pentecostal churches are nearly as common as restaurants, and where distrust of Hillary Clinton is visceral and deep-seated.
192
I feel like kids naturally love guns, so I was drawn to that.
193
It’s a dream part, running around with guns, being an agent.
194
195
196
197
I think everyone should own six guns, even though I don’t own any.
198
199
200
The first and most imperative necessity in war is money, for money means everything else – men, guns, ammunition.
201
202
203
The current prohibition laws are forcing drug disputes to be played out with guns in our streets. We need to put a stop to this criminal drug element in our country.
204
I didn’t brown-nose my way here. I pulled out guns and shot my way here. So people don’t mind shooting back. If I’d gotten here brown-nosing and playing all the political games, I’d probably be treated differently.
205
Cameras aren’t guns. They can’t really hurt you.
206
I don’t think Obama is trying to take our guns, and I don’t think we have to fight the government to keep them.
207
You don’t reduce crime by taking away guns from law-abiding citizens.
208
It doesn’t matter if gun violence is down. We need to get guns and bullets and automatic weapons off the streets.
209
210
I don’t wanna be like somebody that just depicts black characters where drugs and guns are just a majority of what they have to do.
211
‘Men with Guns’ – the producer’s cut did not have the artistic and intellectual merit I hoped for, although I am still very proud of the work.
212
213
214
Before ‘Cagney and Lacey,’ we didn’t follow officers home to find out what they did when they took their badges off and emptied their guns. So the idea that these women also had lives outside of work was really interesting to play.
215
You know, there’s a great discussion – I think that groups like the NRA have been really, really good at trying to divide us by fears, that the ideas that, well, Democrats want to take everybody’s guns away. And that’s not true.
216
The shooting of the guns, that was kind of funny, because rolling a cigarette and shooting a gun aren’t like normal things for a 13-year old girl!
217
While I now own more guns than the 82nd Airborne, my first gun is still the most important gun I’ve ever owned.
218
I never feel particularly comfortable holding a gun, but when you’re playing somebody who lived in the frontier southwest, guns are a part of their life. Anyone who lives on land has a gun.
219
Why should guns be treated different than toasters? If your defective product injures somebody, you’re responsible for it.
220
Now what do you get in the Army? Bad helmets and Basra. Your guns don’t work and everyone hates you when you come back.
221
222
223
224
I do not believe in people owning guns. Guns should be owned only by the police and military. I am going to do everything I can to disarm this state.
225
We need to educate our young people about the dangers of gun violence and that there are real consequences for solving disputes with guns.
226
I have always stuck to my guns about what I want from the work and what interests me. I’ve never been seduced down the evil path. The path of taking the money.
227
I like any shoot-’em-up game with guns in it.
228
Whether it’s a car or boat or motorcycle, it’s a dangerous item, so you have to show a level of competence and get a license before you’re allowed to operate something that’s dangerous. Guns are dangerous but you don’t have to get a license to operate guns.
229
For years, Republicans have effectively outsourced their thought leadership to the loudmouths at the end of the bar. But perhaps the most extreme example of that trend has been the issue of guns, where the party has ceded control to a gun lobby that has built its brand on absolutism.
230
The pervasiveness of guns in our society is destroying America.
231
232
233
I’m not a hunter, but I’ve been around guns all my life. I’m a great shot.
234
235
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
236
237
There are a lot of bands that have a huge appeal, but I don’t understand why. Guns n’ Roses. U2. But you know, that’s just my thing. Music is pretty personal.
238
239
Cop families have guns in their houses.
240
241
I think the most successful are the most paranoid. The first thing people do when they buy a mansion is they build the biggest wall you could possibly build around it. What happens is, now you become a target. If I go into the hood, I’m at a disadvantage. They could carry guns. I can’t. They can hit me in the face. I can’t.
242
The contrast of ISIL’s videos – which proclaim a fully-functioning and prosperous state – with those of RBSS, which captured the dysfunction and violence of everyday life, is shocking. In a sense, it’s a war of ideas, a war of propaganda, a war being waged with cameras and computers, not just guns.
243
Gun control means being able to hit your target. If I have a ‘hot button‘ issue, this is definitely it. Don’t even think about taking my guns. My rights are not negotiable, and I am totally unwilling to compromise when it comes to the Second Amendment.
244
I like to have guns around. I don’t like to carry them.
245
Honestly, I don’t think that the policies and issues surrounding guns will be easily figured out in our country, but we need to take a close look, and we need to have a conversation around those issues.
246
But I’m not particularly comfortable around guns.
247
It’s nice to sort of walk in and at least create the illusion that you are, or your character is, a well-rounded human being, a complete person. Especially when you’re playing these impressive, high-functioning professionals. You feel like you have to come in sort of guns blazing.
248
249
I think the Americans have it right. The idea of having guns is essentially to protect yourself from a totalitarian government.
250
Something is wrong here, and it’s more than easy access to guns or violence on TV. It’s about lack of love and attachment to loving people early in life.
251
252
I went where the boys in the family went. We would shoot basketball. We would shoot guns. We’d play cards. We’d go fishing at the pond.
253
254
255
256
257
258
I’ve worked in a mortuary and seen the consequences of what guns and knives do to people.
259
In the aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., a false accusation has made its way back into the media: President Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to get guns. This claim is absolutely false.
260
I love playing for Mourinho. He is honest and sticks to his guns.
261
262
I’m always happy to listen, always happy to consider what the community wants. But there are also times when you make a decision, you stick by your guns because you know it’s in the best interests of the community.
263
I just think that rap takes way more slack than the video games and the movies. We don’t make guns. Smith and Wesson makes guns. Like, white people make guns and bullets, and all we’re doing is rhyming and putting words together.
264
265
If I wanted to develop a scenario to destroy America, I would do what the Republicans are doing. Take the brightest and best young black men off the streets, put them in jail, make them meaner than hell for 8 or 10 years and then turn them lose in a society where there are plenty of guns for them to play with.
266
Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.
267
I think the NRA, they got it half-right when they say, ‘Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.’ I change it to, ‘Guns don’t kill people, Americans kill people.’
268
I own guns because it’s my right, it’s my Second Amendment right, and no one in Washington gave me that right; it’s a natural right confirmed by the very people that founded this nation.
269
In England, we don’t have any guns whatsoever.
270
271
272
Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?
273
We have to fulfill what the real meaning of the Second Amendment is: reasonable access to guns for self-protection and for hunting. And there’s no room in America for these semiautomatic, automatic and other kinds of weapons that are simply designed to cause mass havoc.
274
275
276
My biggest hobby is airsoft, which is similar to paintball. Essentially, it’s military simulation, but the guns shoot plastic BBs. My friends and I go out in the woods or the desert and play all day long!
277
I was first influenced by a friend in fifth grade when he brought a Walkman to school and was listening to ‘Paradise City’ by Guns ‘N Roses, which he had concealed within his hoodie. He put the headphones over my ears and I was completely blown away by what I heard. I’ll never forget that.
278
This is not the beginning of American civilization where we need guns because it’s the Wild, Wild West… There should not be guns in our society, and we all know that; politicians know that.
279
Nobody picked up guns in those days. You put on music, and it made you feel great.
280
281
One the most efficient ways to combat gun violence is to prevent criminals from obtaining guns in the first place.
282
I was an opponent of Saddam Hussein when the British and American governments and businessmen were selling him guns and gas.
283
It bothers me when the Hollywood elite are all so against people having guns and want rigorous gun restrictions. But I am friends with a lot of them, and most have armed guards with them or outside their homes.
284
285
286
It’s wrong, and it’s racist, and it’s bigoted to say that guns are quintessentially American.
287
288
289
I’m saying, let’s learn to reacquire a respect for the power of guns. This culture is so indifferent and disrespectful of guns that we should be terrified.
290
When I was in high school, I remember, on my Converse sneakers, on one side, I had written ‘Social Distortion,’ and on the other side, I had written ‘Guns N’ Roses.’
291
I think ninjas are probably quieter than SEALs, but we are better swimmers, and also better with guns and blowing things up.
292
Who were the biggest acts in the world in 1987? Guns N’ Roses and Metallica. I shamelessly pandered to surfers and skateboarders, and in pictures from then, you’ll see Slash and those guys wearing N.W.A stuff. If they thought it was cool, people in Kansas and Wyoming would buy it. That’s how we broached the subject.
293
294
Basically, there’s not enough sex in movies, that’s it. I’m trying to say it, people. I miss sex in movies because sex is natural, guns are not.
295
296
297
298
299
300
America… just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.
301
302
303
304
I went to university every day for five years. I thought, ‘I must – must – go to school.’ Look, my hands, these are like guns. When you have guns, you can relax. But in the future, you need something else.
305
306
We say keep your change, we’ll keep our God, our guns, our constitution.
307
Our artillery has really been sensational. For once we have enough of something and at the right time. Officers tell me they actually have more guns than they know what to do with.
308
309
310
A fanatic is one who sticks to his guns whether they’re loaded or not.
311
There should be a background check every time a firearm is transferred. You shouldn’t be able to go to a gun show and buy guns without a background check. There are Internet gun sales, classified ads in the newspapers – and you can buy guns without background checks.
312
There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn’t have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.
313
I thought the Secret Service would protect me from the press, but they were at my house to protect me from assassins with guns, not with assassins with pencils.
314
I hate guns.

Well, again, a gun sale database is just trying to get the Department of Justice to keep track of the guns that they’re purchasing and supplying to drug dealers and murderers. I mean, wow. Come on, let’s get the government under control before we start restricting the rights of – innocent citizens.

There is more hooey spread about the Second Amendment. It says quite clearly that guns are for those who form part of a well-regulated militia, i.e., the armed forces including the National Guard. The reasons for keeping them away from everyone else get clearer by the day.
331
As a general point, the United States has an extreme budget commitment to prisons, guns, warplanes, armored vehicles, detention facilities, courts, jails, drones, and patrols – to law and order, meted out discriminately.

359
When you get all this stuff on and you put on the guns and the hair, it has an effect on the actor. It tends to lend a certain something to the way you feel as you’re just walking around looking that way.
360

361
362
Americans are defined by a history of immigration in pursuit of freedom and opportunity. We are more individualistic, enterprising, and protective of liberties that most Europeans do not expect, such as owning guns, working 70-hour weeks, or appreciating nature as it goes by at 60 mph on a snowmobile.
363
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.

366
367
368

376
There are many controversial topics out there – abortion, nuclear weapons, the 2nd Amendment, guns, whatever, the war in Iraq. You’re going to be on one side, somebody’s going to be on the other side. Invite those people to the table. Sit down and talk.
377

380
381

384
Guns are beautiful. But I don’t like what they do.
385
386

392
393

411
