Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest.

I wish I had the time to dig it up, but one of my favorites is from Adolph Hitler.
Paraphrased:
The world will follow us into the 20th centery as the first nation with total gun control...

I'lll see if I can find it and post it heere verbatim.

EDIT:

Well, That didn't take long! The quote that I referenced is debunked as falsely attributed to Adolph Hitler HERE

"This year* will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
---Falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler, "Abschied vom Hessenland!" ["Farewell to Hessia!"], ['Berlin Daily' (Loose English Translation)], April 15th, 1935, Page 3 Article 2, Einleitung Von Eberhard Beckmann [Introduction by Eberhard Beckmann].

The "Hitler" Quote That Wouldn't Die: "1935 Will Go Down In History!"

"This year* will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
---Falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler, "Abschied vom Hessenland!" ["Farewell to Hessia!"], ['Berlin Daily' (Loose English Translation)], April 15th, 1935, Page 3 Article 2, Einleitung Von Eberhard Beckmann [Introduction by Eberhard Beckmann].

This quotation, often seen without any date or citation at all, suffers from several credibility problems, the most significant of which is that the date given (*in alternate versions, the words "This year..." are replaced by "1935..." has no correlation with any legislative effort by the Nazis for gun registration, nor would there have been a need for the Nazis to pass such a law, since gun registration laws passed by the Weimar government were already in effect. The Nazi Weapons Law (or Waffengesetz) which further restricted the possession of militarily useful weapons and forbade trade in weapons without a government-issued license was passed on March 18, 1938.

Here are a few that I enjoy

"Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces."
-Joseph T. Chew, "Usenet posting in talk.politics.guns"

and

"The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.'"

-Ken Konecki, July 27, 1992

[Wiggy]

From presidential candidate Barack Obama during a speech at Vernon Park Church of God in Chicago.

"If you want to hunt, go hunt. Nobody is trying to take your rifle or shotgun away."

I wonder what he thinks of CCW?
