With the gun you can make the earth red but if you have a plough you can make the earth green.

Most gun dealers follow the law and run honest businesses. But the statistics show that 1 percent of dealers sell more than half of all illegal guns. Why isn't the federal government going after them? Here's one reason: unlike mayors, members of Congress don't get a phone call in the middle of the night when a cop is shot and killed. They don't deliver the eulogies.

In Chicago, which has the toughest gun laws in the United States, probably you could say by far, they have more gun violence than any other city. So we have the toughest laws, and you have tremendous gun violence.

People die but legends live forever.

My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'

I'd rather die like a man than live like a coward.
