| Only way it has a chance to work is to keep a list of gun owners. Once there's a list, it will become public. Once public gun owners will become targets of home invasions. Once home invasions become widespread, further restrictions on gun owners become necessary. Don't allow this Trojan Horse in any state. Only unrest, needless expense, and deaths can result. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
