Well John, you should see us now.
The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun.
John F. Kennedy:
By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fear of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the 2nd amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationship, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the 2nd Amendment will always be important.
George Mason (Father of the Bill of Rights):
"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..." -
Well John, you should see us now.
