Then 7mmMag@LeftCoast quoted Jefferson: "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,..."

To point out the contradiction in your post, I need only ask, "What is the second strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms?" Jefferson is in no way supporting your statement that self-defense in the wilderness is not a reason to safeguard the right.

What are you trying to say? What contradiction?

I was clearly stating the reason for the 2nd amendment is to safeguard against tyranny, backed by Jefferson's statment, not to protect bubba from enraged geese.

Jefferson is in no way supporting your statement that self-defense in the wilderness is not a reason to safeguard the right.

That statement makes no sense whatsoever and has absolutely nothing to do with my point.
