Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Brady Campaign against Gun Violence:

"Anyone who thinks they need to rush out and buy a firearm clearly has not been paying attention to how quickly we make progress on this issue. We don't think these are first-time buyers. We think they are people who already have more than enough guns at their homes to protect themselves and are buying more."

To quote Phil Gramm: "I have more guns than I need, but not as many as I want."

Meh.
