Interesting first post.
Interesting quote, especially given the context of the site.
Can you elaborate on what it means to you, and how you think it fits in with the responsible ownership of firearms?
For some reason I foresee a very steep and long hill ahead of this thread......
"Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."
um...bullets come for the barrel of the gun. one must be aware of his/her surroundings when shooting as well...kind of the very basics that are taught at every level of shooting/hunting.
Mr Gayle is probably trying to talk to those in the hood looking to gain power with guns, and try to talk them into coming together for the better of themselves and the community. Problem is, nobody has heard of him...but you can be damn sure they know who Jay-Z, Little Wayne and Snoop Dogg are.

Other quotes to think about:
But now if you have a moneybag, take it; if you have a food sack, do the same; if you don't have a sword, sell you cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: 'He let himself be taken as a criminal.' For what scripture said about me is even now reaching its fulfillment.
JESUS.
"Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
- C. S. Lewis
And of course:
A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity"
-Sigmund Freud , "General Introduction to Psychoanalysis"
And:
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think. -Jean de la Bruyere,
And my favorite:
If guns cause crime, then all of mine are defective.
