"In Germany they came first for the communist, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time nobody was left to speak up." - Martin Niemoeller

"In the United States they came first for the assault weapons, and I didn't speak up because I didn't have an assault weapon. Then they came for the handguns, and I didn't speak up because I didn't shoot handguns. Then they came for the automatic rifles, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a hunter. Then they came for the shotguns, and I didn't speak up because I didn't like shotguns. Then they came for the black powder stuff and I didn't speak up because I was a bow hunter. Then they came for me, and by that time nobody was left to speak up." - Judd Cotner
