I am sure that George Washington, who mustered several militias to put down the Whiskey tax Rebellion. must also have parroted similar words as an abstract principal. But why guns and not swords if everyone had individual self-defence in mind rather than the right of the right of revolution? I suppose because with the proliferation of guns in the United States, a sword or long knife, which was adequate defence in 18th Century London or New York, is not today.
You just wrong on this issue....pester someone else I wont try to convince you about your revisionist history any longer. You sound like Hillary and I wouldnt waste my breath trying to convince her of the importance of the constitution either. No need to reply, I wont answer.
