"First of all , when gun owners say ban guns , it means , if you want to ban ANY Gun , you are a gun banner ! You guys want to muck up the argument with we do n't want to ban all guns , just some guns !"
"Such black and white thinking places the Supreme Court and the NRA at one time in the category of gun banners . The Supreme Court stated that only firearms in common use receive Second Amendment protection . The NRA once supported a ban on Saturday Night Specials : `` Viewed realistically , junky .22 handguns that retail for as little as $ 7.98 . . . are n't suited for target shooting , handgun hunting , or police or protection purposes . Most honest-to-goodness gun owners would n't have one around . Yet the reckless use of such junk has harmed legitimate firearms ownership. `` - `` Restraint on TV , Cheap Handguns Wins Favor , `` American Rifleman , ( March 1968 ) `` On the Saturday Night Special , we are for it [ banning ] 100 percent . We would like to get rid of these guns . '' 36 -NRA Executive Vice President Maxwell Rich , Senate Hearings on Saturday Night Special Ban , ( September 13 , 1971 )"
