QUACKY QUOTES

GUNS

 

Hovind believes that if you teach schoolchildren that they evolved from apes, they will start acting like them. He thinks drug use, sexually transmitted diseases and an increased crime rate among teens is partly based on the exclusive teaching of evolution. When Griesmaier countered that European countries have a lower violent crime rate and a lower rate of church attendance than the United States, Hovind took issue with the countries (which included England, France, and the Netherlands) in his opponent’s example.  Those decreased murder rates were all from countries with socialistic governments and total gun control,” said Hovind. “I’ll take my gun, thank you.”  Griesmaier v Hovind Debate http://www.laramieboomerang.com/news/more.asp?StoryID=104118 [October 2005]

Blaming guns for Columbine [school shooting] is like blaming scones for Rosie O'Donnell being fat.

If every teacher in public school was required to be armed, all you’d have to do is run into any classroom.  “Hey, teacher, there’s boys out there shooting everybody.”   “Okay kids, turn to page 37 and read that.  I’ll be right back.” [Mimic of gun fire]

GUN  CONTROL!  That is what the Branch Davidian compound attack was all about.  David Koresh was a gun collector and a tax evader.  Boy, they didn't like him, and one of the purposes for that raid was to scare the American people into submission.  You better register your firearms.  Make sure they know.  They might come for you as they did for Koresh.

Did you know that in Switzerland every household must have a fully automatic machine gun and 1,000 rounds of ammunition? [.....]  Have you noticed that Switzerland has never been invaded?  Would you invade a country like that?  Gun control is stupid!
Hovind seems unaware that Switzerland is politically neutral - yikes!  The Swiss have a civialian guard instead of a formal army.

We [the USA] are bankrupt, but they cannot really cash in and foreclose on the mortgage because too many people still have guns.
