"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

Those who hold that the right to keep and bear arms is a call to anarchy show their hatred for our nation's Constitution and our historic systems of law.

Excellent quote. Unfortunately, there a few ignorant fanatics posting on FR who seem to think that the Second Amendment is a call to anarchy.
