Wow this is an incredible thread; I'd just like to post some cool ammo I have always used against anti-gunners. It kinda leaves them speechless especially when they use that crap like we don’t have a reason to have guns anymore since we don’t hunt for food anymore. I tell them the 2nd was never intended to allow you to have guns to hunt, the 2nd is to prevent the Poli Tics from turning this country into a Socialist Bonanza, No offence Hoss. The last Quote is for ALL you that posted here in defence of the 2nd.
“No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms…”
THOMAS JEFFERSON
“…The people have the right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state…”
PENNSYLVANIA DECLARATION OF 1776
“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.”
PATRICK HENRY
“I ask, sir, what 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
“Liberty and order will never be perfectly safe until a trespass on the Constitutional provisions for either, shall be felt with the same keenness that resents and invasion of the dearest rights…”
JAMES MADISON
“They that give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
“Arms in the hands of individual citizens may be used at individual discretion…in private self defense.”
JOHN ADAMS
“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms…”
SAMUEL ADAMS
“Those who reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”
THOMAS PAINE
