- Bobby Hill: Can I put a gun rack on my bike?
- Hank: Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to ask that?
- Hank: Dale, the NRA is a Washington D.C.-based organization. Are you tellin' me you support Washington D.C.?
- Dale Gribble: ...That's a thinker.
- Peggy Hill: Bobby is too young to own a rifle. It is too dangerous.
- Hank: He's 12. He hasn't been too young for 5 years.
- Cotton Hill: Some day soon, all of you will be drafted in the war. Some of you, like Hank, will be killed. Others can shoot and they become war heroes.
- Bobby Hill: I think I messed up. I made Dad not like guns anymore.
- Peggy Hill: Oh son, that can't be true. Your father's love for guns is unconditional.
- Hank: Most, uh, deaths in the home are from guns and gun accessories.
- Dale Gribble: Let me ask you this: a guy breaks into your house, but you don't have a gun. How are you going to shoot him?
- Bill Dauterive: Oh, Hank, guns have been around for years. If they were dangerous, I just think someone woulda said something.
