Congressman Dornan was right:
“...and by the way, Mr. Speaker, the Second Amendment is not for killing little ducks and leaving Huey and Dewey and Louie without an aunt and uncle.  It's for hunting politicians, like in Grozny, and in the colonies in 1776, or when they take your independence away.”

~ Robert Kenneth (B-1) Dornan*,  U.S. Congressman (CA-R 27th), January 25, 1994, responding to then President Bill Clinton's "State of the Union" speech.
