They 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 A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it ... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. - Milton Friedman A government powerful enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take away everything you have. "Si vis pacem, para bellum" - If you want peace, prepare for war. The difference between a citizen and a civilian is that a citizen takes personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic. A civilian does not. Government: If you think the problems we create are bad, just wait until you see our solutions. "Hey, they can't do that to our pledges!" "Only we can do that to our pledges!" - Boon and Otter, "Animal House" "I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my Grandfather" "Not screaming, and in terror, like his passengers..." "The great body of our citizens shoot...Expand for more
less as time goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world...The first step - in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come - is to teach men to shoot!" -President Theodore Roosevelt's last message to Congress “Peace is an accident, war is natural. Old men start it, young men fight it, everybody in the middle dies, and nobody tells the truth.” -- John Rambo "The United States is a country that was invented to allow people to be free of domination or persecution by the state. Its constitution and political institutions are specifically designed to prevent the federal government from oppressing the rights, or undermining the sense of responsibility, of the individual citizen. If it ceases to stand by that principle, then it will suffer a catastrophic loss of purpose and identity" ... Janet Daley, Daily Telegraph America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. --Abraham Lincoln When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered. --Dorothy Thompson The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws. --Tacitus, Roman senator and historian (A.D. c.56-c.115) "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind...let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." -- Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1785".
