~Second Ammendment to the Constitution
"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."
~Thomas Jefferson
"To disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them..."
~George Mason
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."
~Thomas Jefferson
"The militia is the dread of tyrants and the guard of freemen."
~Gov. R Lucas
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined...The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun."
~Patrick Henry
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
~Thomas Jefferson
