The reason we have the right to bear arms is not to shoot wolves as the author suggests, or put meat on the table, or to defend ourselves against predators of the human sort. The real reason we have the right to bear arms is so we can shoot the King.

Jefferson thought a revolution was needed about every generation. You can't have a decent revolution if you can't shoot.
