Here are the top ten I think:

1)The worst thing one can do if there's an intruder in the house is get a gun and apprehend them, and the best thing on can do is pretend to be asleep and wait for them to go away, especially if they are raping your children.

2)That 1 firearm owner in 10,000 will commit an act of violence in his or her lifetime, and this is far more frightening than the 25% of drivers who will cause a serious or fatal accident.

3)That firearms in the hands of private citizens are the gravest threat to world peace, and China, Pakistan and Korea can be trusted with nuclear weapons.

4)That gun control works, which is why there are no illegal weapons in Northern Ireland or Beirut.

5)That a handgun, with up to 4 switches and controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile which only has 20.

6)That a bank guard can protect money with a gun, but you cannot protect your children with one.

7)That people are too stupid to handle guns, but are intelligent enough to vote.

8)That the N.R.A., with over 4 million members, is "out of touch" with America, and H.C.I., with 50 thousand members, is a "mandate from the people."

9)That we should ban guns because their primary purpose is to kill people, but we shouldn't ban alcohol, which has its primary purpose getting intoxicated and losing control of the higher faculties, thereby increasing violence and accidental death.

10)That a person who would commit violence with a gun would never do so with a knife.
