Yeah, well, you don't.

HomerJust give me my gun!
Sorry, the law requires a five day waiting period. We've got to run a background check.
HomerFive days?! But I'm mad now! Oh, I'd kill you if I had my gun...!
Yeah, well, you don't.
HomerNow, I believe you have some sort of firearm for me.
Well, let's see here. According to your background check, you've been in a mental institution...
HomerYeah.
frequent problems with alcohol...
Homer[nervously] Yeah.
...beat up President Bush!
HomerFormer President Bush.
[the clerk slaps a red rubber stamper on Homer's printout]
Homer"Potentially dangerous"?
Relax, that just limits you to three handguns or less.
HomerWoohoo!
I'm sorry, Homer, no weapons.
HomerA gun is not a weapon, Marge. It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator.
[Lisa is staring at the garage roof when Homer pulls in]
Hey dad could you get my basketball down.
HomerSure [Draws his gun and shoots it down]
[The basketball fall to the ground and deflates]
HomerWant me to get the cat down too?
[Knocking the gun out of the way] No thanks!
[as the Simpsons eat from everything but the dinner plates which Bart and Homer shot at earlier] Does anyone know where all my dinner plates went?
Um...
HomerUm, you probably left them at work. On another topic, guess who was picked to host the next NRA meeting!
[points gun to himself]
Homer, I told you this morning, no guns at the dinner table.
HomerYou said the breakfast table.
It's the same table!
HomerListen, if it'll make you feel any better, I'll put the safety on.
[attempts to put the safety on, but accidentally fires the gun. We see the bullet just nick Marge's shoulder in a picture of her hanging on a bulletin board]
HomerOh... I guess the safety was on.
[He tries again, but again accidentally fires it, this time hitting the same picture of Marge square in the chest]
HomerI'd better just put it down.
[sets the gun on the table. While it rests there, the gun fires itself, and the bullet ricochets off a pot, hitting a knife sitting in a brick of cheese. The knife sails through the air, and stabs the same picture of Marge right between the eyes]
No offense, Mom, but that was pretty cool.
Homer[Shoots a beer can open] Anyone else want a beer?
Homer! You use your gun as a can opener?
HomerI use it for everything! Watch me turn on the TV. [Shoots the TV, it turns on, and a cowboy onscreen falls down dead]
I've never seen such recklessness!
You mighta hurt someone!
Are you some kinda moron?!
HomerYeah, but--
Hey, yutz! Guns aren't toys! They're for family protection, hunting dangerous or delicious animals, and keepin' the King of England out of your face.
Your membership card, please, Homer. [Homer sadly hands him the card, and he tears it up] I'll also need to remove your tattoo. [holds up a grater]
HomerI didn't get one yet.
Rats.
You shouldn't pressure Bart like that.
HomerWell, if you have a better way of living through my son, I'd like to hear it.
HomerMy father never believed in me. Well, I'm not gonna make the same mistake. From now on I'm gonna be kinder to my son, and meaner to my dad.[Homer walks outside to where he forced Bart to run laps] Quit runnin' son. I just wanna give you a big hug.
It's gotta be a trick, run like the wind.
Is it just me or do all of your plans involve some horrible web of lies?
HomerIt's you.
Baloney! You came here to put me in a home.
HomerYou're already in a home.
Oh how could you?
HomerMoe, what do you recommend for severe depression?
Booze, booze, and more booze.
Ha. Nothing like a depressant to chase the blues away.
[Bar flies mumble affirmatively]
Homer[singing] Here's the angel, see the angel
It's my angel, no one else's, next to the rakes
I don't think you should call this thing an angel. There's no proof of that.
HomerNo one's calling it an angel, Lisa. If you look carefully you'll notice I never once used the word "angel."
What about that sign right there?
[She points at a sign which says "angel" in huge letters]
HomerThat's a typo.
HomerSeat belts? They kill more people than they save.
That's not true, you're thinking of airbags!
[Bart and Lisa have come up with a song to help Marge study for her realtor's license and are singing it to Homer to the tune of “Camptown Races”]
On the closing day, the escrow agents pay
Taxes, liens and interest too, thanks to Fannie Mae!
They back your baaaaaank!
HomerYou're all nuts.
Thank you, Bart, thank you, Lisa, for all your help!
HomerWhat about me? You didn't thank me.
You didn't do anything.
HomerI like being thanked.
