You have to negotiate from positions of strength. And right now with Iran, we're not negotiating from a position of strength.

The Iranians are quite willing to keep on negotiating on that line for a long time.

Dale Carnegie

Lord keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth.

Marcus Smart

Go over and over your beads, paint weird designs on your forehead, wear your hear matted, long, and ostentatious, but when deep inside you there is a loaded gun, how can you have God?

Kabir

What it is basically, if you go to a gun show, and there's somebody out there in the parking lot, and they're getting out of their car, and they've got an A-15 on their shoulder, or... John Q. Public wants to sell a handgun or whatever, then there's no background check.
