«Чтобы добиться цели и побороть насилие, нужно поставить под контроль продажу оружия» .
Смысл фразы не очень ясный, но он двойной. С одной стороны предлагается благая цель, с другой стороны, человек, полагаясь на защиту со стороны официальной власти, становится сам совершенно беззащитным.
"Non-Violence" (a.k.a. "The Knotted Gun") by Fredrik Reuterswärd. This sculpture was a gift from the Government of Luxembourg to the United Nations.
"Gun control" isn't about guns...it's about control. Author unknown
"Gun control is being able to hit your target!" My Father and innumerable US Marines saw this statue on my tour of the United Nations while on a family vacation in Manhattan NYC

Just found this quote from the great Arizona author Edward Abbey
"If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government --and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws."
