The NRA is nonpartisan. We just want people who believe how we do to register to vote.

If he wants to come to the state capital and lecture my legislature, his message is going to fall on deaf ears. I think they'd stop him at the state line.

Being able to protect yourself is an emotional issue. Rape and murder and kidnapping are emotional issues. And your right to have a firearm to protect yourself from those crimes is a preeminent right that is well guarded by the Constitution, well established in Florida law, and something needs to be done to stop these rights from being violated.

We believe in the right to keep and bear arms. We believe in hunting and fishing. Those activities are part of our national heritage. I don't care if you're a Republican or an independent or a libertarian. If you have an opportunity to pick up a voter registration application, I want you to do it.

If they want to run and thump themselves in the chest and call this a victory, fine. We'll see in the end.

I think the chairman is telling us where he intends to go, to put it politely.

Nobody said it was easy. We just said it was right.

I can live with today's results.
