Gun Laws

Famous quotes containing the words gun and/or laws:

    “We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The process of discovery is very simple. An unwearied and systematic application of known laws to nature causes the unknown to reveal themselves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
