Gun Laws

Famous quotes containing the words gun and/or laws:

“As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night;
God said Let Newton be! and all was light.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
