1. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders:

   It's become clear that no mass shooting, no matter how big or bloody, will inspire Republicans to put children and innocent Americans over the interests of the NRA. They are simply more loyal to gun lobbyists than our children. That's why I support President Obama's executive actions to make our communities safer.

2. Dwight D. Eisenhower, From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1963:

   Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

3. Akhror Saidakhmetov:

   I will just go a buy a machine gun, AK-47, go out and shoot all police.

4. Donald Trump:

   His idea is just taking chunks and chunks out of the Second Amendment until we don't have a Second Amendment anymore, and people need protection, hillary Clinton is, I think, worse than Obama on the issue, frankly, she wants to take everyone's gun away.

5. Eric Williams:

   I am amazed that this did not turn into a very bad situation because he was standing in the midst of these guardsmen, with a loaded handgun, plenty of ammunition to cause a lot of havoc, and for whatever reason, he put the gun in the front of his pants when he saw officers arriving.
