The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Most bad government has grown out of too much government.

And the most powerfull one of all.............

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.

LET FREEDOM RING. thank you Tom Jefferson!! I am drinking one to you!!

And they try to say that what they wrote 200+ years ago does not apply to today? Sounds to me like they knew what they were talking about. Let's all lift a glass to the men who commited the treasonous act we revere as the Declaration of Independence. :beer
