Moving from Mae West sayings, here is another quote mentioning guns.
Barry posted an entry recently on a common slogan

Barry found a cite dated February 23, 1968. Here is a slightly earlier
instance with a variant phrasing:

Cite: 1967 December 21, Tonawanda News, Sportsmen's News and Views by
Ken Sprenger, Quote Page 12, Column 1, North Tonawanda, New York. (Old
Fulton)

BUMPER STICKERS: We received a call asking where the bumper stickers
can be purchased that have the words, "When guns are outlawed, only
outlaws will have them."
