We must get rid of all the guns.

Halfway measures are not enough.

I don't believe gun owners have rights.

The Bible is to gays what Mein Kampf is to Jews.

To me, the only reason for guns in civilian hands is for sporting purposes.

I've thought Cheney was scary for a long time. Now I know I was right to be nervous.

It is outrageous that the Queen has invited royal tyrants to celebrate her diamond jubilee.

We're going to see fugitives and felons, eventually, being able to get guns much more easily.

Don’t accept the world as it is. Dream of what the world could be - and then help make it happen.

It [the Brady Bill] is not a panacea. It's not going to stop crimes of passion or drug-related crime.

We are not for disarming people. When you have an epidemic it's a public health issue, a safety issue.

Unless they're a fugitive or a felon, or adjudicated mentally ill, we're not against them buying guns at all.

There is no personal right to be armed for private purposes unrelated to the service in a well regulated militia.

What happens in Bermondsey on February 24th will be a pointer to the rest of the country as far as Labour's prospects are concerned.

Women and gay people are the litmus test of whether a society is democratic and respecting human rights. We are the canaries in the mine.

If Bradley Manning was the person who copied the secret US diplomatic cables to WikilLeaks, he is a hero for exposing human rights abuses.

The gun lobby finds waiting periods inconvenient. You have only to ask my husband how inconvenient he finds his wheelchair from time to time.

The House passage of our bill is a victory for this country! Common sense wins out. I'm just so thrilled and excited. The sale of guns must stop. Halfway measures are not enough.

We would like to see, in the future, what we will probably call needs-based licensing of all weapons. ...Where it would make it much more difficult for anybody to be able to purchase handguns.

Marriage is the internationally recognised system of relationship recognition. It is the global language of love. When we were young, most of us dreamed of one day getting married. We didn't dream about having a civil partnership.

Our main agenda is to have all guns banned of course. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed.

I would certainly say that politics in Washington has changed dramatically since 1980. It's gotten to be a nasty business with so much divisiveness. Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill could disagree totally on issues and then get together for a social event. We need to moderate on both sides.

The positive nature of some child-adult sexual relationships is not confined to non-Western cultures. Several of my friends - gay and straight, male and female - had sex with adults from the ages of nine to 13. None feel they were abused. All say it was their conscious choice and gave them great joy.

The legacy of Ronald Reagan will live on forever. I, of course, had the wonderful opportunity of working with him and getting to know him personally. A more wonderful person you couldn't meet. I think the coming down of the Berlin Wall will always live in infamy. I treasure his friendship and appreciate so much what he did for me personally and for the issue of reducing gun violence.

While other faiths are also often oppressive, sharia law is especially oppressive. Its interpretations stipulate the execution of Muslims who commit adultery, renounce their faith (apostates) or have same-sex relationships. Sharia methods of execution, such as stoning, are particularly brutal and cruel - witness the stoning to death this week in Somalia of a 20-year-old woman divorcee who was accused of adultery. This is the fourth stoning of an adulterer in Somalia in the last year.
