To begin with, the amendment should be abolished — a sensible interpretation of the amendment is that it was written to allow the people to raise a militia for protection and to hunt for food. Clearly no one needs to raise a militia these days, and those who hunt for a living can be licensed to do so.”

*******

Clearly, Feinstein is an idiot and a wuss. Sensibilities such as his will lead to tyranny.

George Washington: “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people’s liberty teeth (and) keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than 99% of them [guns] by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference [crime]. When firearms go, all goes,
we need them every hour.” (Address to 1st session of Congress)

This is a bogus quote, never said by Washington. It is a creation like a fake George Carlin rant. There are plenty of real 2nd amd founding father quotes, we don't need to use invented ones.
