![“As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it. The only person who's going to be penalized and have difficulty is the law-abiding citizen, who then cannot have [it] if he wants protection -- the protection of a weapon in his home.” quote by Ronald Reagan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/de0/ronald-reagan-119_abiding_as-long-as-there-are-guns-the-individual_427436.jpg)
