To: ThomasJefferson
"To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws." -- John Adams

Excellent quote!

It has it's purpose. It exposes your liberal beliefs against the right to keep and bear arms. And just adds more proof that you are a liberal on other issues as well. I'm sure you have been trying to hide it all this time to keep JR from booting your sorry liberal ass off this forum, but the truth is out.
