1. Jackie Evancho:

   Throughout my childhood I was also facing another reality - that there were men out there who wanted to hurt me, some even went to the extreme of claiming they were priests and other disarming occupations to gain trust and easy access backstage, but clearly their intentions weren't so pure.

2. Czech Interior Minister Josef Chovanec:

   We do not have a problem with the directive as a whole, but we will want to rework it so it does not amount to disarming Czech citizens.

3. Jesse Kremer:

   As Wisconsin legislators, we are constantly being challenged by some of the leaders in our larger communities to stop the violence, and I do not believe that disarming a certain segment of law-abiding citizens, our college students, leads to less violence. I believe, instead, it is providing criminals and thugs an easy target to victimize.

4. John Lott:

   The problem is the people who need guns the most and benefit the most from owning gun, poor individuals in high crime areas, are priced out of the market, who do they think they are disarming as a result of the law ? It is minorities in poor crime areas, not some wealthy guy who can afford to purchase the firearms at a higher cost.

5. Jeffrey R. Snyder:

   As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant of the people... The Bill of Rights does not grant rights to the people, such that its repeal would legitimately confer upon government the powers otherwise proscribed. The Bill of Rights is the list of the fundamental, inalienable rights, endowed in man by his Creator, that define what it means to be a free and independent people, the rights which must exist to ensure that government governs only with the consent of the people.
