Obviously, the Founders were not gun grabbers, as the gun-grabbing community would have us believe. Actually, unlike today’s liberals, they had faith in their fellow citizens and in their ability to avail themselves of their rights in a safe and reasonable manner.

The Founders had no reason to be gun grabbers. They were not afraid of the people because the people and they were one and neither was afraid of the other.

That is not the case today. Today, the government and people are not one. The people fear the government and the government fears the people!

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"The people fear the government and the government fears the people!"

I believe it was Thomas Jefferson that said something to the effect that when the people fear the government, there is tyranny, when the government fear the people, liberty reins.
