"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." -Thomas Jefferson

FYI, there appears to be no evidence Jefferson ever said/wrote that.

Thanks.

That won't matter to the likes of Roscoe P. Coltrain. I'm half way to believing he may actually BE Bill Lockyer. In the face of all the evidence presented, he still fishes that same old line. Plus, his FR page flies the Kalifornia flag.

I've given up trying to talk to this guy. He almost makes me miss Dane.

This one IS his:

"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves in all cases to which they think themselves competent (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved), or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press."
