To Ensure Tyranny!
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Euorpe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States."
Noah Webster
"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 quoting Casare Beccaria
Criminologist renowned for his
On Crimes and Punishments (1764)
"A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"
The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution"Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed-unlike citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
James Madison
(Father of the Second Amendment)
"Here, every private person is authorized to arm himself, and on the strength of his athority, I do not deny the inhabitants had a right to arm themselves at that time, for their defense, not for offense...
John Adams
"The Second Amendment, You do not know you need it until they come to take it away."
Thomas Jefferson
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty not safety"
Benjamin Franklin"[Self-defense is] justly called the primary law of nature, so it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away by the laws of society."
Sir William Blackstone
