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 then to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
--- Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in "On Crimes and Punishment", 1764
Without either the first or second amendment, we would have no liberty; the first allows us to find out what's happening, the second allows us to do something about it! The second will be taken away first, followed by the first and then the rest of our freedoms.
--- Andrew Ford

Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.
--- Trench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, 20 February 1788

That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United states who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms...
--- Samuel Adams

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

Arms in the hands of citizens (may) be used at individual discression... in private self-defense...
--- John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of the Governments of the UAS, 471 (1788)
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyrany in government.
--- Thomas Jefferson

Am I the only one who finds it unconscionable that an Air Force fighter can now shoot down a hijacked civilian airliner full of passengers, but the pilots of that airliner are not allowed to defend the aircraft from the hijacker, thus preventing the hijacking in the first place?

Oh and how about this one from the man himself.
(Jesus) said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
--- Luke, Chapter 22, Verse 36

A quote from Adolf Hitler, 1935
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future."
Quotes from founding fathers of this once great nation.
"Guard with jeolous 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." -Patrick Henry
"I ask sir, who is the militia? It is the whole people...To disarm the people, that is the best and most effective way to enslave them..." - George Mason
"Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed -- unlike citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust people with arms." -James Madison
"...Arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace." -Thomas Paine
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of 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

Here you go again with your BS. Where were you durring the Heller case? Keep drinking the Kool-Aide. BTW, why is it illegal to own/ posses handguns in Chicago and NY City, as well as a few other Libtard controlled areas? Scare tactics my ass. |

I try to keep myself informed on my rights. I also know about McDonald vs. Chicago, which allowed individual states to decide, not the entire U.S. There is always the same BS from both sides during election time, gun control and abortion, among other issues. This country will always be divided about these issues, the sky is not falling. Last year at KC, I just about needed hip boots on Sunday morning, vehicles still stuck everywhere. Heres hoping for dry weather. |

Heres hoping for dry weather. Again, about your so called scare tactics. You failed to mention how the Libs can take the freedom of the 2nd Amendment away from those in Chicago, Ny City, California and many, many more states and cities through-out our country. You say its scare tactics, when in fact its a reality. You post smoke and mirror replies with no facts. I'm guessing that you also stand with the Libs on backing a high capacity magazine ban too? The Libs are pushing HR 308 and HR 1022 and trying to grow even more sponsers for these bills. The big Libtard Yarmouth is a big backer of HR 308 and he could care less about law abiding citizens who legally own these firearms and accesories. You FAIL to back up what your original reply was to me. |
