Those quotes are better than the bogus one.  They expose the 
mentality of the gun grabbers very well.  IMHO, the only 
reason why a government won't trust its citizens with arms is 
that they intend to do something to their citizens that would 
provoke a rebellion if the people had the means.  Or, maybe, 
they just want the citizens disarmed "just in case".
